Pretty good book

This was one of the best economics books that I have read. The book is well-written with clear definitions and examples. The subject matter is already difficult to understand, but the author put it in a format that is easy to understand. The applications/problems are challenging but because the book is written the way that is, it is easier to grasp the issues in the book.

An "easy" intermediate theory text

The text is well-written, and explains intermediate micro concepts fairly well. My complaint with it is that the calculus is relegated to appendices in each chapter. This is a good text for students who are uninterested in learning more economic theory (i.e. who aren't going to take theory courses beyond the undergraduate level), or who would like a basic, intuitive explanation of economic concepts. If you want to prepare for graduate school, look at "Microeconomic Theory" by Nicholson and Snyder.

Very good

The book arrived on time and was in a condition I expected. Very good!
