    3.0 out of 5 stars Text Book for Uni
    Reviewed in Australia on 21 March 2021
    Verified Purchase
    for me it's a Uni textbook, so no choice in the matter.
    It is written in an old fashioned style and full of anecdotes/scenarios that some people might find useful for context and others will find a waste of study time. It is very factual, reasonably up-to-date (given it was published in 2015) and very easy to quote. It seems to describe things twice or, repeat them in different chapters, which can be confusing/frustrating but, does save going back to other chapters all the time.

    Re: buying this on Amazon
    Kindle Cloud Reader doesn't show the page numbers and Amazon says that this is up to the publishers but, when I look at the epub version on my Uni website there are page numbers. Can't do Uni references without page numbers, so won't be risking any more Amazon purchases for Uni Textbooks. Mind you, 3 different eBook sources (Pearson, Booktopia and the iPad version of Kindle) report 3 different total number of pages.

    Has all the content and much cheaper than UK versions, however it is not for distribution in UK and no coloured pictures ("genuine" stickers used to cover up text saying not for sale outside of India and Bangladesh).
