5.0 out of 5 stars BYU- Student

AMAZING BOOK. I had an intro to psychology class in BYU-Provo and we used this book. It is amazing how well structured this is. The information is very extensive but not wordy. It goes into a lot of different things regarding to psychology, but it is understandable for a intro-student. I was very happy with the book. I actually kept it, because it really is that interesting (rather than selling it back.) It goes into a lot of behavior studies, anatomy, statistics, and a lot more. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know what psychology is all about.

I was worried about buying this particular book used as there are several editions, a problem with college text books. SO I trusted that the picture represented would match. It did! Correct edition as well as the shipping was much faster than promised. The book was in great condition despite the packaging being a bit ripped and torn for some reason with notes from the post office (guessing USPS messed up even though they said received damaged with potentially missing contents). Nothing was missing. Thanks!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value

I agree with the other reviews. It's awesome to be able to take out the chapter you're working on and not lug this huge book around everywhere. I was expecting an actual book based on the picture and description as well and wasn't sure if I would like the binder style, but that turned out to be a big benefit. The only bad thing about it is it's hard to keep the pages looking as nice and not to rip the hole punches. (I am planning to resell mine after I finish this class, so I'm trying to keep it in as good a condition as possible. That would have been much easier with a "real" book.) As for the content of the book itself, it is easy to read, lots of interesting stories, examples, and pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great price for loose leaf textbook
Reviewed in the United States on 3 April 2009

I don't need to be spending over $100 for a single textbook. This was my answer. Nicely priced for a loose leaf textbook. I like that I can have it in a big binder and take out the chapter I want to study into a smaller binder. Same textbook for a smaller price. Definitely worth it!!
