โฆ Synopsis
I received a great shock my first semester of college when I had to buy books. The price of the paperback version was great. It was the cheapest college textbook I've ever purchased. However, after using reading the Chapter 2, the pages started coming loose around page 20. Pages 5 through 10 actually fell out of the book. I've had to use super glue just to keep the book together. Cheap was a good thing, but the quality is incredibly poor. I would rather pay a little more for a book that actually stays together.
John Shand really seems to like to listen to himself talk. I'm usually more confused after reading it than before. It's pretty good for an intro book, but it can confuse people. Fortunately, I have a philosophy professor who is pretty good at explaining things in terms that we understand.
