This book is not in great condition, I won't lie to you. I bought a gently used copy, and this is what the bookstore gave me. Yikes. But I still had to spend about $125 on it, but I don't want someone to have to spend that much of this book. Its not falling apart, but it has tons of stickers on the cover, some highlighting (not terrible) and its a bit flimsy. But if you just need it for the semester, this'll be perfect for you!!
