Great book but instant order I must have tapped twice and received two instead of one. Do will give one as gift and try and avoid instant orders from now on.

I received this book from Amazon, but did not receive the CD.  If you don't notice this within the first 30 days, you cannot return it or exchange it for one that includes the CD - they will not correct the order.
I purchased vol 1 and vol 2, and I did not notice before the 30 days was up as I was working first with volume 1!
Great book, just make sure you receive the CD in the book!!!

Amazon will get your book there in lightning speed like it always does - Thumbs up Amazon. The only bad description of this item which occurred with my order was that the OWL code had already been redeemed. Since this improper description was to be blamed, I bought a used one and returned this one and saved a bunch of $. Another thumbs up to the big A for returning my $ to me as soon as the package was dropped off at UPS.

Now the "hybrid" version of this book is what drives me absolutely crazy and hence the 3 star rating. All of your accustomed post chapter homework sets can only be accessed via the ebook which comes with your OWL/Cengage subscription. So if you are travelling without wifi or don't have ready access to get the ebook printed or pdf'd to a tablet or smart phone, you may find yourself in a bind or frustrated. If you are tech savvy and ready then you enjoy not having to lug around as big of a book. My only issue with this is that if you can already get a full ebook, why do you even need a hybrid one, but thats just me. Book is pretty good and has a nice way of displaying the chemicals!

This review is only 3 stars because I could not order it through my local bookstore. Because of Stan's past politics, I'm fairly sure he would want it distributed through independent booksellers. I hope he is able to get this resolved. Otherwise everything Stan writes is amazing and I definitely recommend finding everything he has written I keep giving my copies of his books away because I think Stan's writing is so important.

Per our bookstore ordering guru:
Because it is self-published through Createspace/Amazon, and the author/publisher has not chosen the option on the website to have the book distributed through Ingram, which makes bookstores unable to order.  If he changes this option, we would be able to special order the book for anyone.

After completing volume one in just a few days, I promptly ordered volume two just days after it was released.  Again, I could not put it down.  I also finished this more refined volume two in just a few days and have already e-mailed the author to disappointingly find out that I have to wait at least 3 more months for a print version of the next installment!

I loved the book.  Perhaps it could have used a human editor to read the book and notice the spelling errors.  This is all too common nowadays.  The cd was missing on the first book so I just called Amazon and they 2nd day shipped me a new one at no charge.  Great service at this Amazon.  I think  maybe I will buy the stock.  My books always arrive in two days.  My Barnes  and Noble orders mostly make it in two days also, however my last one took  four days.

Great book- I think its the 17th or so in the series.  I had my debit card stolen and didn't change my profile payments.  Thinking I had already paid for this I didn't worry about it until it "bounced"- ah, drove to Barnes & Nobles and purchased it there.

So, to save time and gas the lesson learned is make sure your account is updated and don't think Amazon took the money when you thought you had paid them.

I must have another kindle edition of this book. Amazon did not tell me I already owned it, but it sounded familiar, and when I checked my cloud - there it was (bought 2/1/15). So beware - check before you buy it twice.

Great book but should have been free (Kindle) with purchase of physical book.

I am new with ordering books online and probably committed what is considered to be the #1 rookie error -- I ordered an out of date edition.  I needed #8 and ended up with #7. This error cost me $27 bucks because the differences in the two editions are so great that I really need Edition 8 for my current class.

It could have been worst,  but upon hindsight I wish the edition number was displayed more predominately on the description page for this book. My advice is to increase the image of the publication and do whatever is necessary to confirm the edition number before ordering this book, just as you would with any other book before ordering.

Great book, great debut. I say this without having had the luxury of finishing it. Why? The next page (in my 1st edition)after pg. 312 is pg. 281! This duplication of pages continues through to page 312. The next page after the 'second' pg. 312 is pg. 345. So, I am missing pages 313-344. Has anyone else experienced this? It would be easy to make an exchange at any Borders (or I can return it to Amazon) but I wonder if there may be any future value to this type of error.  Any thoughts? Thanks...and Happy Father's Day. -- Wojo

The books is excellent - a great 'girl friend' gift.

However, be careful when ordering it!  I ordered 3 copies to be sent from one dealer.  Only one was sent, but I was billed for all three.  I emailed them w/o a response.  Guess ordering one copy at a time is the way to go!

Love the book.  Had to order another copy because My first copy was read too many times by too many people

I ordered this book twice expecting to get the item shown, (the workbook) however, both times I received the answer key to the workbook. I did get refunded but I obviously still need the workbook. If this can be fixed with an ISBN number correction please do so and advise me how to order the workbook. Thank you

I ordered this book and wanted to order a used book but accidently ordered a new book at 49.95. Well that was my fault. I tried to cancel or modify the order within a half hour but was told the book was already for shipment so there was nothing I could do. I thought OH well, OK let it go.  I received the book today and it turns out to be a very old used book. I am very disappointed that it cost 49.95.  I wanted it as a gift and have sent it out but don't think I should have to pay the 49.95. Can you give me credit for the difference between the price of this used book and the 49.95??

This book is a fun read - but NB warning above, and make sure you're not duped into buying it twice!
