Product details, spec OWL, somewhat confusing, April 18 2012

This review is from: Introduction to General, Organic and Biochemistry (Hardcover)
**This product does not come with an OWL access code!!!** Access must be ordered separately!!. I ordered this edition here at Amazon when in a pinch of the money+time sort. I pay for all of my books and learning materials out of pocket, and could not afford the new copy with included 6mo OWL access offered at my book store when I needed it.After combing through this site, which offers very little info, I concluded that I'd have to take the chance and assume that this book came with an access code to OWL, which didn't seem like a stretch since every other text book I've ever purchased new for math, medical whatnots, and biology has included an assess code within the book. I compared prices at the college book store (which includes an access code) and figured that the Amazon price reflected a deal which included the OWL, since the prices here at Amazon and the bookstore were not so far off. I noted that a previous reviewer stated that they did not get an OWL access code "as promised", but I could not tell if they'd purchased the book new or not.
When the book arrived, it was brand new and wrapped, but no OWL code was included. Bummer! Luckily I had just been tipped generously by a regular who had just gotten a promotion as was able to purchase an online OWL code the night before HW was due.
I now conclude that this book is not really a deal in comparison to the book store, which is a bit of a bummer since I had to wait for it to arrive (though it only took three days :) I wound up paying the same price plus a whole lot of anxiety from wondering if it would be delivered on time with OWL code. Also, the price seems to vacillate up to $20 here on the site any given the day, and I happened to order it on a +$194

Great, excellent shape and shipped to me quickly! No problems at all with the book in class either. I recommended getting this book because it is very useful and very informative.

I was pleasantly surprised when my textbook arrived. It actually looked, smelled, and felt like a brand new book! The spine of the book is as stiff as that of a new book!My initial thought was that I had messed up and ordered new when my intention was to purchase the best possible used book. I certainly got more than I expected and, even though this is a book that I would never have choosen given a choice, I am very pleased with my purchase. I also ordered the study guide to use along with the textbook, it is in brand new condition as well. There are no pencil marks, highlighting, etc. I'll certainly check here for availability before other sites, in the future.
Listmania!
