This is just for a college course. It's in pretty good condition. I wouldn't have purchased it if i didn't have to.

Review of textbook

This book is probably the best econ. textbook that I have used so far. It is especially helpful for studying for the Micro & Macro AP exam combined with its workbook. Although he does try to use colloquial terms to describe basic economic theories I feel that this does not interfere with conveying the necessary information and may help some students with not as strong a understanding of the English language, learn from the book.

This book is amazing!!!

This is the best Intro to Microeconomics book you can buy... hands-down!!!

MAH-velous!

David Colander's Microeconomics is possibly the best introductory book to Microeconomics. He provides practical examples, as well as allows his own personal quirks and the like to show through, thus avoiding the monotony of traditional textbooks. Also contains color illustrations to help in the understanding (and the illustrations ARE helpful!).

Excellent intro to microeconomics

This is a great text for an intro to Microeconomics (I used this book when I was student). It was written clearly by stating the points that the author hopes you learn, followed by the reading and then exercises and problems to make sure the student understood the concepts from the chapter. The many graphs in this book make the concepts easy to understand and the fact that most of the graphs are in color helps out alot.
