Reviewed in the United States on 13 August 2010Verified Purchase
The owner did not reply to any of my e-mails. We needed the book within 4 days since my daughter was starting class the following day. The author did not reply even when I said I am willing to pay extra for express shipping also. I never got book in time. I got it after 2 weeks. I returned the book to owner and still no response for my money back. I am very disappointed and will probably never shop for books at amazon. Thanks.
