Abnormal Psychology

The book was in very good condition. It was a basically brand new book which I truly enjoyed because I like to keep my books after I use them for the class. There is not enough detail when it comes to buying a book. I just got really lucky with this book.

An interesting text! wow!

I bought this text for my Psychopathology class and it's so interesting! Now, granted I'm a grad student getting my MA in Counseling, but the text is a really easy read. I'm kind of a slow reader, so when I'm reading assignments I'm constantly watching the clock, but when I'm reading this one I'm focused on the material and time just flies by and I seem to read faster. I think it might just be because I'm enjoying what I'm reading :)

The book was in wonderful condition, perfect!!! However, I did contact the buyer to see where it would be shipping from and never got a reply. Come to find out that it shipped from the UK. I recieved the book in a timely manner, I just wanted to know where it was coming from. Overall great experience though, saved me a lot of money!!!
