April 17, 2009
This book was never received as the seller informed me that they did not have it after all. I hope that monies were refunded, as I have not checked. I understand that errors do happen, however it is very inconvenient as I now need to order the book again, but don't want to do this until I know that I have been refunded for the last order!!
