Okay:

I was told this book was in used good condition and when I recieved it the book was held to gether with zip ties!!! Decent book though, not nearly as informative as I would have hoped.

Good as far as it goes:

This was a required text for my micro class. It was sometimes a little helpful, but it mostly didn't have the answers to my questions. It covers too much in too few pages. The only time that I really found it to be helpful was in reading test results. When I wasn't sure if, for example, my VP broth had really changed color enough to be a positive result, the large glossy pictures were nice.

half satisfied:

i was happy to receive the textbook i needed ...it took a little longer than i expected to arrive...there were two page missing from the text and they were placed in the book for me to tape back in

Images are great references.:

The images are great for referencing the different cells charachteristics under a microscope. Convenient when you are studying somewhere besides lab.
