4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to food science May 21 2008

By Michael G. Lustig - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

Purchased book for a high school student. I read it first and it claims to be suitable for the first two years of college. Either I got smarter or kids got dumber. This is an easy read for anybody with an 8th grade education. The book is very informative but not a hard read. I liked it a lot as it was well organized and covered a multitude of subjects relating to food science. This is even more meaingful because the book also provides a historical perspective.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy from this seller...TextbookXpres...stay away...inferior book quality Feb 26 2013

By Richard - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

The book is printed overseas and is actually a size smaller than the one offered in the bookstore. The print quality is terrible, it looks like a glorified photocopy, some of the print was illegible. Also.... the book was warped, yes warped. The book actually had a huge offset curve in it as if it got caught in-between two heavy parcels, got bent, and had to endure this for the 18 hour trip from overseas. There was no invoice in the package; I mean the bag it came in, yes bag. The book was wrapped in a thin UPS freight bag, then repackaged in another thin bag from another courier, then delivered. No Invoice, no return shipping label, no return instructions, no contact info. Needless to say I lost the money on this book as I threw it out the same day, I didn't feel the hassle of trying to return this piece of garbage was worth the effort. I guess you get what you pay for as this book was ~$80 compared to the real book for $200 at the bookstore. DO NOT BUY FROM TextbookXpres.
Oh... btw... the real book is quite informative, its flat and I can read it.
