Great book This book was in good condition and provided a lot of information for understanding our healthcare system | ||
College Books I was working with a very short time limit and was extremely low on funds. My College was offering this same textbook for over $90.00 and that does not include shipping and handling fees. So when I came across Amazon.com I jumped for joy when I located the exact textbook I was searching for. I literally expected the book to be in bad shape because of how inexpensive it was, I was truly taken back by the quality of the textbook and the excellent timing in regards to arrival time. I have decided that for now on, I am going to order all my text books and required materials through this website. The product was in very good condition, hardly any marks, tears of the pages, highlighting, etc. | ||
