Customer Reviews

My used sociology book

My book arrived in excellent condition. I intend to purchase all of my nursing books that I can from this site.

I had a pleasant and simple experience

I ordered the book, and a few days later, I recieved the book. Nothing complicated. It was way cheaper than the bookstore book, So basically Im happy. I experienced no complications. I would order from this person again. Oh yeah and the book was in a good condition, very few highlighting, no missing pages, no bent pages.

Completly satisfied

Since I paid for a 2-day service, I received it in 2 days. Book came brand new. I also found this book to be more expensive on all the other book sites for college books. Lastly it was available when at the other sites they were either sold out or on back order the week classes started.

great seller

this book ariived quickly and in great condition, would definitely buy from this seller again

I recommend this book for the CLEP Exam

In addition to the exam study guide through the College Board, this book was my primary study material for the Intro to Sociology CLEP Exam. Of 100 questions, I only ran across 3-4 that covered material not in the book. Note: I think Tischler focused really well on concepts, but not as well on contributors to the science. Accordingly, I spent additional time on Wikipedia for some of the bigger names associated with Socioligy (ie, Cooley, Mead, Weber, etc). Overall, it was an informative read and I feel like I came away with a comprehensive handle on the major concepts of the field. (PST: I passed the exam with flying colors!)
