A value buy for what you get!   Jolly Good  If you order directly from amazon, you usually get it the fastest, and to me, speed was the number one priority.   Cheaper than the University Bookstore  I havent even taken this book from it's packaging, but all I know for sure is that I paid far less on Amazon than I would have at the University Bookstore and that's all that needs to be said. I give this book 5 stars for that reason alone. Powered By: Amazon Directory SQL
