Purchasing Used Books From Amazon by Daniel Turek (Harleysville, PA USA)  5 Stars
June 29, 2009
Bought this Java programming workbook along with a used textbook from Amazon. It is in excellent condition - looks practically unopened. And it only cost 1/10 the campus bookstore price. Definitely will being buying my textbooks from Amazon whenever I can.

Great deal by Amy R. Wadman  3 Stars

I was really impressed by the price of this textbook that originally would have cost more than 2 times more at the school book store. The book has a bit of wear and tear, but nothing was missing!

This passes for a college text book? by THINK (in a big city)  2 Stars
November 09, 2008
I am currently using this book in college, and I find so many errors and inconsistencies, it drives me nuts.
I write reviews for textbooks regularly so I realize I have a different perspective then an 18yo thinking the teacher and the book are "all knowing"; but I am surprised that teachers pick this book, or at least don't account for the poorly written text.
Often, if I want to understand what the text is talking about, I go to Wikipedia, or a computer forum, and find out what the book was trying to explain.
I imagine if I were a computer savvy person, the book would not bother me, but being that it is considered a beginning computer book, and an intro to computer science, I find that it aggravates me more the educates me.

The Love Of My Life by A. McCool (Georgia, Atlanta) 5 Stars
October 01, 2008
I only ordered this book because I needed it for class and I am in college so it was imperative that I have it in order to understand what the professor was speaking about. I also bought this book because I fascinated in Computer Science and I would like to pursue a career in this field. Everything from packaging to shipping speed exceeded expectations. Thank You Seller!!!!! I hope we can do business in the future!!!

Computer science by MAURICIO PELAEZ  4 Stars
September 30, 2008
Great Product, although its exercises are confusing and contain mistakes.
The content is educational and interesting.
It would be helpful if next editions contain answers or similar solutions are provided, in order to avoid errors and misunderstandings.
A website with help would be great too.
