This textbook was purchased for a class I took for only one semester last year and was used for about six months. There are a few minor notes written in it from when I used it in class, but they are not very noticeable and are only in a few places. (Please see the photos.) The book itself is in good condition, and I don't think it will be inconvenient to use. It has been stored indoors in a pet-free and smoke-free environment. Since it has been used, the price has been set considering the original retail price. Please feel free to ask any questions or share any opinions you may have regarding the price!!
