Great book full of good information!, Jan 10 2011

This review is from: First Aid for Colleges and Universities (Paperback)
This book is full of really good information and will be helpful not only in my college course, but will continue to be a good reference outside of the classroom when dealing with real-life situations. My only concern was that the book didn't come in the condition I thought it would; when it says the book is in "very good" condition, I would expect an almost like-new copy, not one that is very, very tattered on the front cover. Anyway, this book is useful and the wear-and-tear is minimal, especially in essence to how much use I will get out of it.

This review is from: First Aid for Colleges and Universities (Paperback)
This book was well worth the price. Cheaper than any of the other college bookstores. Glad I buy them on Amazon and Ebay, instead of give or donate rather my hard earned money to a redundant institution.

This was one of my textbooks that I needed for school. Much cheaper than the school was selling it for.
