Customer Reviews

Quick & cheap

This book was about $50 less than it would have been in my university bookstore and shipped in about 7 days.

Psychological Testing

Shipped in the condition listed and received it very quickly, even though I did not choose the expedited service. Definitely a place I'd order from again, and you should too!

great service

I received my item earlier than I expected. The book was also in very good shape. Overall, I was very happy with my purchase!

Textbook Needed in a HURRY!!

I ordered my book 2 weeks before my next course started and believe it or not the book arrived a whole week before I needed it so I was able to get started with my reading right away. Thanks!! I'll definitely purchase from you again.

Psychometrics

I like the book. It is pretty easy to get through, although it is a bit detailed for my uses. I don't love the book, but I don't hate it either. It is also a bit of a hassle to go back to the Figures that they point you to that aren't on the page you're reading. It would be helpful if it was all there at once, but other than that the book is pretty decent.
