Truth advertisement

this book came in the condition that was described. i am very happy with this purchase. very reliable seller.

Pretty amusing and fun - for a college text book

This book uses humor and slang to present the points needed for Human Communication and the classes it is used for. Between using quotes and comics (Calvin & Hobbes, especially), the points come across, as well as a chuckle here and there.
