Book was in perfect order, but I didnt know this version is for students outside the US. So I had to return to but the right version.
The book arrived very promptly. However, I have often noticed that books are sent from amazon without protection in the shipping carton. Whether books to give away or, in this case, a high-priced book for the university - it is a NO GO that these books reach the recipient with dog-ears, quirks or signs of use. That's very upsetting.
Useful book for my master's course, too bad the pages are of very light paper and the cover is too soft.
