I received my book on time. It is in good shape. BUT....I noticed that the seller put stickers on my book to cover up print that said it was the instructors edition. This is difficult for me because I'm going to try to have to sell this item back and it is not the right item. Why cover up the book with stickers? Why not tell people its the teachers edition? Im my opinion sellers who do this do not care about you. They care about their pocket books. This seller is shaddy and I wouldn't but from them.
