Good!

For this to be such a cheap book, it is very helpful. I think that professors should opt to using this book as a reference guide for their students.

Good book!

Format is very helpful. The book is written from a purely introductory perspective that assumes no previous knowledge of chemistry. It is a great book for intro to chemistry. The format has practice questions after each section which enables the student to reinforce new concepts soon after their introduction. Answers are listed at the end of each chapter. I recommend this book!

FAST AND FABULOUS SERVICE

FAST AND FABULOUS SERVICE. ITEM CAME IN BETTER SHAPE THAN ANTICIPATED, NO PROBLEMS WITH TRANSACTION OR SHIPPING. THANKS!!

Great introduction to chemistry...

this is an excellent introductory chemistry textbook....it is great for the last year of highschool.. or for bridging from highschool to unviersity..it isn't that deep enough for most first year chemistry courses... but reading through this book before OR while you are in ur first year course will greatly help you understand the material... because this book doesn't assume u know a lot about the subject already...cuz face it guys... nobody tries to remember stuff in highschool.. i personally just wanted to get it over with... therefore I forgot everything ...... but in university ur mentality changes.. u actually want to learn.. not just get 90 and get it over with.. that's why I bought this the summer before my classes started.. and went through it a little everyday...well my First Year class used Raymond Chang's CHemistry book (more advanced than this one) ... but I found it much easier, because I reviewed during the summer... and when I hit a topic that was hard.. i would reference this book.. read it.. then go back to Chang's and read the material... this helped a lot because this book assumes no previous knowledge....so it's good for ppl like me.. for the few out there who actually cared in highschool.. and remember nething... this book is a waste.. because it isn't deep enough for first year chem courses (it is deep enough for non science major chem courses.. but not the hardcore first year general chem course)hope this helps

Life saving personal tutor

I recently took chemistry part II after not having chemistry for several years. This book was a life saver. I was able to pull many examples from it to guide me when I did my homework. Chemistry is tough enough by itself, but this book really helped. All the answers are there so you can test yourself on one part, and then see the answers with explinations on another part. Everything was easy to understand in this book. I highly recommend this Study Guide. This Study Guide will save you a lot of time at the tutor, and keep you from pulling your hair out while figuring out chemistry.
