  • using and understanding mathematics by jeffery o. benne

    I was very unhappy with the service that I received concerning this textbook. Please allow me to explain; First, since the cost of the textbook from the Cleveland State University bookstore was so outrageous, I had resolved to obtain the book from one of the libraries in the Cleveland area. I put in two different request at two different libraries, one a city library and one from the county library. I heard nothing from them for a total of almost two months! Finally, I contacted both libraries at seperate times and was told that I would not be able to receive the book for whatever the reason. I was not called. I finally ordered the book from Half.com, the second week in November for $73.00. I clicked on priority msiling, but for some reason, it would not take my request to receive the ...

  • Condition Overall = Perfect

    The book I ordered was the Instructor's Edition. It is not much different besides giving answers to all questions, not just some. It is also the only math book I have ever seen that gives problems that relate to the real world and, therefore, making it more entertaining.

  • Is this book the Same as the picture advertised!!

    Not sure how I feel yet! I thought that I was purchasing the book advertised in the picture, but I recieved a totally different looking book! Yes the title is the same, but I won't know if the book is the same as the one pictured as far as text goes, until school starts. And this seller doesn't do exchange????

  • Price

    Bookstores do sell the books for entirely too much. I learned that the hard way, after I bought all of mine in the store last semester. I realized online they were cheaper, but we were not able to return ours unless we dropped the classes. It's ridiculous.

  • Great Deal !!!!!

    My daughter needed this Math book for college. At the college bookstore, we bought it for DOUBLE the price!!!!! After I bought this one, she just returned the other (unused). Now, I will look for her books on half.com first.
