I am happy with the purchase of the book. I needed it for a class and ordered it over a week in advance of the class starting date. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the book came two weeks late!!! I already had a class that this happened last semester and it makes me wonder if I should be ordering textbooks on Amazon if I have one class every semester that I have to do catchup work on. The book was in the condition that was described when I ordered it and on that I am pleased. I just wish it would have gotten here on time. I will consider this the next time I order from Amazon.

I recently ordered a book entitled Criminology - The Core by Larry J. Siegel. The book arrived in perfect condition -- package was secure and did not allow any movement during shipping which sometimes occurs when not wrapped securely. Everything about the purchase was professional from the price, the book condition description and the prompt shipment of the book. The seller is amazing!!!

Book was easy to read. It was nice that the author gave us really big margins so we can write notes in there if we needed to. Would recommend for other classes if there is not another book that is better. I would prefer to look for another book before using this one, but it was not too bad to use.

This book is easy to read and understand. The exercises at the end of each chapter are very helpful.
