Understanding Child Abuse and Neglect Textbook by J. M. Kenzie (Somewhere in N.E. New England)  5 Stars
October 03, 2009
The seller shipped an as described textbook quite quickly, just in time for my class to start too. Very happy with seller, as well as dealing with Amazon purchases.
I would continue looking for textbooks for college classes through this method for sure. I stick with higher rated sellers - as experience tells me they are more consistent, exceptional in their descriptions on their items and by far much better resources than others.
Thank you for your continued high ratings for selling college textbooks at VERY REASONABLE prices!

March 17, 2006
The book was all highlighted in certain chapters. It was false advertise like new. I wish I had spent the extra five bucks on a new one so I could made my own highlights instead of having all highlighted with different colors like in three chapters. Thank god, I only used the book twice for 2 important chapters.
