Thank God for Lab Partners
Not very happy with my purchase, especially considering how much I spent on it. I've recently discovered it's missing pages, and quite a few from the looks of it, I believe one chapter is missing almost half the pages [no wonder I couldn't find figure 9.7!! Cause it's not there!!!!!!]. At least I have other people I can look onto since they have the proper amount of pages. What's funny is mine came shrink wrapped and everything so either A something sketchy is going on and products are being sold like new when they're used and they're being shrink wrapped or B the production line missed its morning coffee.Update:I have just discovered even more pages missing. I haven't been able to read a chapter without missing pages. Also, this book is written in. Im extremely angry now considering I spent almost 70 dollars for this mess of a book.Update:Yeah, this Lab Manual is missing like half the actual manual. I'm pretty upset for the waste of money. I've been so busy with classes, studying, and work [not to mention, I actually had to go through the manual to se how much was actually missing], that I cant return it now, so looks like they took my money and ran off with it. Just another company ripping off the already broke college students. :l

Quick shipping, product as stated
I ordered two books from this seller and they were shipped the same day and together so I received them at the same time. The price was way cheaper than if I had bought the books in the school bookstore, and since I am going to school out of pocket this semester I would not have been able to use financial aid anyways. The books were as listed (used, normal wear and tear) and they had all the pages. I am totally happy with this purchase and will look to buy from this seller for the rest of my textbook needs.

Excellent for Geology Beginners
Getting into Geology for the first time? Well this is the book for you. I'm currently a student and I had to use this book for my Intro to Geology course. The information is very clear and understandable. I guarantee you'll understand most of the topics right away and enjoy it. Plus if you by it from Amazon it'll come right away and in brand new condition.
