I was nervous after I read that it would take a long time for the book to come. I think it said somewhere that it could come in like up to 16 days, or something like that. Well, I had already just added the class so I didn't want to wait. In just three days I decided to write them to tell them to cancel, because they didn't put that my book had shipped, so I thought that it wasn't even shipped. I waited one more day, due to being busy and then the book had came that morning. It was pretty fast for it being sent from oversea's. It was shipped from England to Los Angeles. I am happy that I recieved the book so fast. It was in perfect condition too.

Great Quality! Arrival was a little slow...

Book is immaculate! Not very vibrant colors inside but all the right information is there. Good price for an informative textbook.
