So far so good. The quality of the material is not very good though. You have to be very careful when you handle it. It arrived the way you see it on the pictures.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good textbook
Reviewed in the United States on 20 June 2018
Verified Purchase
This is a good textbook, as textbooks go. The exercises look especially valuable, although I haven't done them yet (I'm pre-reading this for a class I will be taking).

The explanations could be better in many cases. It takes a special skill and perspective to write to people who don't already have a deep understanding of your subject. The writers of this textbook have somewhat failed to do this. So along with this book, I am reading  The Study of Language , which I find to be a simpler, more clear presentation of the topic.
