Good Experince

Was fast and easy, book arrived in a timely manner! It was exactly what was describe in the description.

MINT condition! :)

I looked for this product looking to spend less than $200 on this book and i got the deal of a lifetime paying less than $20 for it! It doesn't even look like its been used and it shipped almost overnight! I would definitely order from this company again.

one of the best chemistry textbooks.

I really have no idea what others are talking about, because my experience with the book has been the complete opposite. I think this is one of the best chem books I've ever had the pleasure of using. In AP Chem, the first textbook the class used was very convoluted and confusing, and did not have nearly as many diagrams. Halfway through, we started using this text and it made everything so much easier and clearer, especially the acid/base equilibrium chemistry. The book, for example, includes many examples of different weak/strong acid/base combinations, and how to calculate the pH, etc, what happens when a strong base is added, and whatnot. It gives a very easy to follow outline that works for each problem, and how to think about it intuitively (like what the interactions of the ions that are present in solution will be). Maybe the other sections aren't as good? It is very comprehensive. As a 3rd year undergrad at a top university, I still find myself referencing this book before delving into my chemistry texts, as a refresher on the basic principles first. If you think it is sort of dry to read (which I don't notice), I would much rather a clear, straight-to-the-point text that tells me exactly how to think about problems, than some kind of chemistry novel.

Purchase of Chemistry text

I had no problem receiving this material in a timely manner. If I had to purchase this text book at the university's book store, it would have cost almost twice as much.

Great Chemistry Book

I've had this book for over a year now and I think I won't sell it until I have no use for it anymore. Which will be a long time from now. This text is everything I need and want as a chemistry textbook.
