The book i got was brand new and its pretty much the same price my campus bookstore is selling for a used one. So pretty good deal since i didnt have to pay for tax; however, the problem about this book is that it isnt as detailed as other books (but considerably way shorter to read). Also, there were so much typos in this book.
