My copy of this book is filled with sticky notes, bookmarks, and highlighted paragraphs- I use it constantly for research, presentations, ideas, etc. It is a key resource for teachers, researchers, and therapists. Well written and comprehensive!

Great product and quick delivery considering the book was coming from the USA and I'm in Australia, took about 2 1/2 weeks or so. Would use again
