Introduction to General, Organic and Biochemistry

As this is a college textbook it provides a simplified level of the information.The subject matter seems to be "dumbed down". I have gotten more in-depth information and knowledge about chemistry from books written from the aspect that the author is writing to a reader that is interested in the subject and not merely a short synopsis of information from various topics within the field of chemistry. I am taking a beginning college level chemistry course this quarter, so this is the chosen textbook by the faculty. The book itself was in great condition, exactly as stated by the seller and I received it promptly.

This book was the required textbook for a class my daughter was taking. The quality was good and she had no issues with it. With the high cost of textbooks these days, Amazon offers some options to save money, which is definitely a plus when it comes to the cost of college.

required. no difference in versions. hope to sell for what I paid. printed textbooks are such a racket.

**This product does not come with an OWL access code!!!** Access must be ordered separately!!. I ordered this edition here at Amazon when in a pinch of the money+time sort. I pay for all of my books and learning materials out of pocket, and could not afford the new copy with included 6mo OWL access offered at my book store when I needed it.After combing through this site, which offers very little info, I concluded that I'd have to take the chance and assume that this book came with an access code to OWL, which didn't seem like a stretch since every other text book I've ever purchased new for math, medical whatnots, and biology has included an assess code within the book. I compared prices at the college book store (which includes an access code) and figured that the Amazon price reflected a deal which included the OWL, since the prices here at Amazon and the bookstore were not so far off. I noted that a previous reviewer stated that they did not get an OWL access code "as promised", but I could not tell if they'd purchased the book new or not.When the book arrived, it was brand new and wrapped, but no OWL code was included. Bummer! Luckily I had just been tipped generously by a regular who had just gotten a promotion as was able to purchase an online OWL code the night before HW was due. I now conclude that this book is not really a deal in comparison to the book store, which is a bit of a bummer since I had to wait for it to arrive (though it only took three days :) I wound up paying the same price plus a whole lot of anxiety from wondering if it would be delivered on time with OWL code. Also, the price seems to vacillate up to $20 here on the site any given the day, and I happened to order it on a +$194

I bought this edition of the book, other than the new edition. It is basically the same, except some of the problems are numbered differently. I only paid $8 for this copy, compared to $150 for the newer edition.

The cover is a little bit old, so I expected the book will be with some highlights and writing inside as a used book. But it came out that the book pages are very clean and look like new book pages. I really like it. That is exactly what I want.

Excellent for a used copy, great price
