WHAT A DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe I bought the book for dirt and received a brand new book!! I got it a lot sooner than expected too!

STUDENTS: BEWARE THE ANNOTATED INSTRUCTOR'S VERSION

This regular version is the one you want. The instructor's version can actually be bought for much cheaper (but is not at all appropriate for the student), and it appears that someone in Salem, OR has bought a huge load of the instructor's version and is NOT making it clear that they are NOT the same thing as the student version. Therefore, he/she/they are selling them for $36 and up and making it look like that's a deal when it appears to me you can actually find the instructor's version for $7.99 and up. Make sure to read the fine print. Look carefully for the words "instructor" and "annotated" and don't by the book unless you are looking for that version...in which case you can get it cheaper elsewhere, anyway. (Do a search her for "intermediate algebra annotated tobey" and you will see the lower price ranges on the instructor version.) He/she/they are selling them all over the internet and sending them from Salem, OR.

Clear, concise and comprehensive

I am a mother who didn't do well in Algebra in high school. I am now having to help my 8th grade daughter with her Algebra. Having used Tobey & Slater's Basic College Math and Beginning Algebra (whenever her textbook doesn't make sense to me or to her), I am exceedingly impressed with their exceptional ability to explain clearly yet simply the mathmatical concepts. My experience with these books gave me the confidence to buy their Intermediate Algebra (4th Edition 2002). This updated edition provides clear explanations that make sense to someone who is not a math whiz. It includes not only exercises, but also practice problems, real-life applications, cumulative reviews, and writing exercises to teach students to translate numbers into words. It is a very comprehensive approach to empower the student to not just grasp the concept but also to retain it.
