Wrong Book

It was send a play book!

I got sent a play book instead of the sociology textbook I needed.

The book is listed as Visual Sociology by Harper but instead I received a play book. That's probably why all the recommendations underneath the listing are for plays instead of works related to sociology. The listing for this book is inaccurate and by the time I got my order and realized what had happened, my college's bookstore had run out of all the new copies of the actual sociology textbook. Whoever is the seller on this listing needs to either correct the listing so sociology students aren't paying for a play they don't want or the listing should be taken down entirely.
