I hate this class, but the book was in good condition and arrived pretty soon. Unfortunately the shipping time was unusually long and I needed the book a week earlier than it arrived. I don't understand why it took over two weeks to ship a text book with expedited shipping when the other book i ordered the same day showed up on time.
