I just want to say that the website had the book labeled in good condition. When I received it. The binder that hold it together was torn and the front cover was ripped a bit. But other than that everything else is fine.

A nice textbook that contains interesting and helpful articles for understanding different topics in college writing.

Arrived just fine, haven't had to use it yet but so far so good!

I've found other, better books for the same topic.
