About the Author
This book is new as ordered. It arrived in perfect condition and yes it is the tenth edition. I have ordered dozens of books from Amazon and never had any problems. As usual Amazon delivered a great book on time.

I am pleased with my purchase of this product. It seemed to be previously owned, which I was unaware of (it was not made clear) when I first ordered it. However I really like the textbook and it even has some bonuses I was not expecting (ie: answers to problems and side comments that ease in the understanding of the text). So the sale could have been made more clear, but I am definitely happy with my purchase.

I have the 6th edition. Perhaps the book has improved in the 10th. I find complicated explanations of simple ideas over and over. I have only read to page 70. In the beginning of section 3.1 Chemical Equations, the book suggests the following substitutions: We read the + sign to mean “reacts with” and the arrow as “produces”. This scheme will not produce good English for any chemical equation and will produce incorrect statements for most (A + B -> C + D does NOT mean to imply that C reacts with D). What could be simpler than + means “and”? Then the arrow means “reacts to produce”, and everything works. In the same paragraph, the book confuses number and numeral and gets it wrong. If you look with a critical eye, you will find slightly off statements every few pages. I could not recommend this book to a beginner who does not have a teacher to smooth over the rough points.

I’ve left the seller (e-campus) a 2-star-rated review and guess what??? He blasted at me for leaving him a “false” negative feedback through emails! I was just being honest in the feedback based on the information I was given! Apparently there was a miscommunication between Amazon and the seller. Instead of contacting amazon to resolve the problem to prevent future incident like this, he harrassed me with emails! I mean “What the heck???” So DONT ever buy anything from them – they have a different shipping rate and method than what the amazon market place confirmation will tell you!!!!! If you buy anything from them, check with the seller first about shipping; otherwise, he’ll for sure harass you with tons of emails!!! However, the book itself is in the condition as described by the seller – Thank goodness!
