Rented for CLEP Exam and the book was amazing! Not only followed the order of Instacert.com but was inline with Petersons practice exams. I read the book and was able to pass my CLEP with no prior knowledge with in 2 weeks of picking up the book.
Its a school textbook. Everything is there, nothing is missing. You really can't expect anything more, packaging was great and the book was in excellent condition when I received it. Great purchase, thank you very much.
This is an older version of Macroeconomics Roger A. Arnold. Most of my classmates purchased this textbook to save money and our professors did not mind us using an older textbook. However, this textbook has repetitive information and can definitely be condensed. Overall, the new textbook isn't repetitive and chapters are brief and straight to the point. In comparison to the new textbook, it is very similar. If you don't mind reading repetitive information over and over again you should get this.
If your course requires that you use Aplia, this particular item does not come with the access code for it. You will have to purchase an Aplia access code for $125 plus tax (price as of 1/22/16) separately. Once you have access to Aplia, you are able to view an online version of the same book which eliminates the need to purchase a physical copy. I'm hoping to prevent anyone from making the costly mistake that I made. I could have saved myself quite a bit of money if I had known. I'm not blaming or the publisher for my mistake. I am only attempting to share what I have learned.If your course does not require that you use Aplia, carry on. This seems like a fine textbook.
As my title suggests, Im not a huge fan of Economics (at all) but this book was great. The writing style made this very enjoyable to read and helped me be okay learning a topic I dont enjoy.
The book was in worse condition than I expected, clearly the labeling of "acceptable" is used loosely. It had a great competitive price but as the saying goes, generally you get what you pay for.
When the professor says go to page 190, for example, the page numbers do not match. Not very efficient. Other than that, good clarity.
Loaded on my Kindle and easy to use for finding definitions. I just wish I could see the page numbers on this book.
