"Survey of mathematics with applications (8th edition)"
Written By: Jaclyn Smith
they did not specify the book i was buying was a teacher's edition. How do you expect one to learn college level math with a book that has all the answers??! it was in great condition, but because it was a teacher's book, i ended up spending $137.00 on a student copy at the college book store. be more specific on what you are selling to others next time. thanks for saving me money! (sarcasm)

I received the book fairly quickly. The book was a little rough around the edges (advertised as good) and it is. The back outside spine was ripped and for that they could have drop the price a little more, but considering the price in the university book store was $118 (new), and $85 (used) - I could live with it. I believe that this is a fair assessment of the site. I would order a book from them again.
