The people were very friendly but the book seemed to take forever to arrive. I was told it would ship within two days but took over two weeks to arrive. I did not expect an instructors edition. I do not recall reading that it was an instructors edition. I had avoided ordering from others, as they only offered the instructors edition. It still was a huge savings from what our book store wanted for a used book ($65.00). I would recommend this service to anyone, just advise them to order well ahead of their need for the book. They responded to all of my emails in a fast and professional manner. This was my first experience ordering from your service and I would do it again. All in all, I saved $100 over what I had paid for two used books in the college book store. Thanks for the savings.

This book is not as bad as everyone is saying. I am an older student taking Algebra for the first time in 15+ years and did not have a problem with the book. I do recommend the instructor's edition though which was very helpful!!

Kaseberg's 2nd Edition is Terrific

Kaseberg outdid herself on the second editon (2000 publication date)of Just-in-Time! Yes, the first edition (1996 edition)was difficult to read and lacked organization. But those problems have been fixed. The 2nd edition is very readable and the organization is much clearer. The new edition also has more exercises. The best thing about this book is that no one can ever again ask "why do I need to know this?" because from the first page, Kaseberg shows you how the math is used in the real world. Also, in many places you get a triple whammy explanation of the math: you get it with algebra symbols, if that doesn't work, she shows you how the same idea looks on a graph, and in case you still don't get it, she shows how the same math looks with sketches of stuff in the real world. Finally, Kaseberg treats you like you have a brain--she helps you discover why the math works instead of just telling you that it works and expecting you to believe her. I LOVE this book!
