DONT BUY INTERNATIONAL EDITION

Created: 02/09/10
The book itself for my class is great, easy read, to the point, all necessary information is there and is very easy to follow along with in class. However, DO NOT buy the international edition if you live in North America. Although the sellers site said that it was all in English and completely compatible, the book cover says in big red letters that it is NOT for use in North America. The seller agreed to refund me the entire amount if I pay to ship the item back, however, the seller is in Malaysia and it would cost twice what I paid for the item to ship it back.

great book

I was required to buy this book for a Biological Concepts class. It covers all of the essentials, but the chapters are not too lenghty. it is an easy read, even for someone who isn't particularly interested in biology.

Unfortunately I did not receive the book from the buyer; however, I was very
fortunate that e-bay discovered before the deal was completed that the seller was questionable and informed me in time to cancel the order. E-bay was very timely in helping me recover my entire refund and I ended up purchasing the book from another source.

GREAT shipping times!!!!! I had my item in about 3 days. The book was in awesome condition when i recieved it as well. my only concern (not the seller's problem) is that the international addition will not be the same as the one sold in the states. but for the price of the book, i'm willing to find out
