Buyer Beware! When you buy a used book, you run the risk of not getting what you paid for. I didn’t realize until I got to pages 142-144, that it had been ripped out of the book. This was a very vital page for the class. Certainly a learning experience!

I bought this book for my intro to Chemistry and the first day that I recieved it I opened the front cover and it came untsuck to the spine of the book. Today when I was studying I opened it up again and the whole cover back cover and three pages from the book came entirely off the book. I bought it groundbreaking new and I don’t reckon this is acceptable. I am not a Chem major so I will have no use of this book after this class and no one is going to want to buy it from me if its falling apart. I either need a new book or a refund for this poorly made crap! The book itself is not terrible it simple to know and makes clear points for a person that is not interested in Chemistry. Anyway I hope someone can please get back to me on this item before it all falls apart.
Thank you

this book came a small longer than i anticipated, 3 weeks from the date i ordered it, so if you want your book quick i urge the expediated shipping. Also, there was a problem with the packing it stuck directly to my book removing pieces of the cover, which i reckon is not fantastic for the buyback. Other than that it was the cheapest priced of all textbook websites.

I am a chem major and had the most terrible luck of having a terrible instructor and book for my introductory classes. After a few horrible attempts at teaching I questioned a different professor if they had a book they not compulsory. I ttold them that I would be trying to do this independently from class and that as a chem major I would need get a excellent solid grounding in chem. The professor gave me this book saying that it had been rejected by the group that selects the books for the intro chem classes.
Cons: there are a few mistakes in this book and when I questioned the professor why it was rejected she stated it was because there were some chemistry in the book that was incorrect.
Pros: I loved the book. It was very simple to read and to follow especially if going on it independently ( of course when I had questions I questioned my graduate level friends and they cleared this up). Overall it was a fantastic book it really clarified it on simple terms at least well enough that when other future professors went over a topic I found I may possibly either grasp what they were talking about much quicker than the other students nearly me or I had gone a small more in depth than the professor sought after to go but because I did I was able to know it better and quicker. The book is not perfect but it is a fantastic basic chem book. Even now 2 semesters later I got unlucky to get stuck with a really dry hard to know professor and I am using this book to reference as I once again continue to do independent learning.
One more note: I use this book as reference book so I have never read it back to back..I have everlastingly followed the syllabus in my classes and just looked up what I needed to know, worked out the example problems, and the cumulative problems. When my answered differed from the text that was when I questioned my TA to help me solve. This has worked fabulously for me. I hope that this review helped. Heck for the price it can’t hurt to try it. You probably won’t regret it.

It’s too terrible that this book isn’t that terribly written, though I disagree with the way the book is organized. I got questioned to teach chemistry at our local community college for mainly nursing and respiratory therapists. It’s their only chemistry course, and we didn’t make it through two weeks of this book without finding so many errors in the questions in the back of the chapters, the quizzes, and I am finding more and more on the CD-ROM provided with this. I did not pick this book, and the department has gotten me another not compulsory chemistry book to replace this one, appearance in next week. In the meantime, I have to double-check all the answers and do a lot of the tests and quizzes on my own with material from other sources, because the stuff for this book is so terrible. This is not the fault really of the writers, but of the publisher too, who needs to have someone capable of checking and proofreading who knows chemistry, and can sit there with a calculator and check all the answers. I cannot expose a group of students going into medical professions, who need to have a excellent basic grounding in chemistry, to such a terribly proofed text!
