Elementary And Intermediate Algebra by Barbara L. Johnson, David J. Ellenbogen, Marvin L. Bittinger (2005, Hardcover)

I tried to give an honest review for this purchase and it will be the last review i give. Hear is the email I got from the seller after I place my review.


You have alot of nerve posting a neutral feedback stating the shipping was slow. This book sat at the post office for 6 days before your SLOW ass picked it up. Do us both a favorite and don't ever bid on anything I have for sale. You certainly have alot to learn about Ebay.

I felt that I gave a good review except it took longer than I felt to be normal. The seller was very upset and I guess doesn't want an honest answer.

I needed this book for an online college course and I am glad this is the one they chose! This book is excellent! Very informative and very easy to understand. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more about algebra!

I don't like this book very well because there are not enough examples, not enough detailed steps for the processes/formulas, and not enough information given to understand the problems. If you have difficulty in math and algebra, this book isn't very helpful!

I never received the item in question. The seller took my money and never bothered to send my book. I will never order on ebay again. Thank you

Was out of stock and i needed it a week after it was "supposed" to be shipped which was the next day after i placed the order and i got an email a week later saying it was out of stock..

The book they sent was not the book I was expecting. You have to read the small print to realize you are getting sent a different edition. After hanging on to it to see if it were one my teacher would except, then finding out it was not, the two weeks time limit they give you just kinda flew by. In order for me to send it back in time to get a refund, it would have cost me just about as much as the book itself did. SO long story short, I paid however much to get a book that did not work, that I am now stuck with.

This was my first time to buy a book and it turned out bad. First off I was buyiny yhis book for school and three weeks into the class found out the the book and the packages was lost. The package ended up in Denver Colorado and the book to my knowledge has never been found. But does this mean I am not going to use the service no> i just want to know how to put insurance on the pacage now that I have an account and all I am not sure how to do this matter of fact in the last two days I have bought to other books. Hope that this does not repeat itself.

would buy from again

I ordered my books in August and now its October and I still have not received any of my books. I will never again use this site to get any of my books. I was really patient and still am. I just want my books for school. Unfortunatelly I will have to go and purchase them through my school even though I wanted to save money on using this site..

The book was in excellent condition, and I saved a ton of money by purchasing it this way. Thank you so very much!!

The book came fast and it was just like the seller stated. I would buy from this seller again. Thank you very much.

I like the fact that I could trust purchasing this product without having to worry about getting a tore up book. When I received it, it is in very good condition. There is not writing in the pages or anything. I bought this product because I am taking this course in school in a couple of weeks.

this book teaches u how to speak math do da do and spaghetti is good to eat and my sister is stupid and all dogs go to heaven and is this a hundred words yet.

I was very impressed on the way they handled themselves. Very quick to respond with any questions and problem I had. I would defiantly do business again.

I liked the fast service. I decided to buy this book because it was the cheapest price I could find. I did not want to pay over $100 for a book that I am only going to use once.

I decided to buy it for school, and for the smart price, and the good condition it was in. Excellent purchase!!

This book was in excellent condition and had the solutions book and CD with it also. Some sellers were only selling the book but this one had all the parts to it. I recieved it quickly and without any trouble. Thank you

Book was in excellent condition! The only thing was it took a while to get delivered!!!! I was in class 2 weeks before book arrived!!! So happy when I got it!!!

I have no complaints about the condition or the speed in which I recieved this item. I would like to do business with this seller again.

This was a great price and fast shipping. the book is in good condition and I will resell when I am done with it.

book was in great condition thanks, receive in a timely manner, well do business again. great seller

THE PRODUCT I BOUGHT AND RECEIVED WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. FAST SHIPPING I RECEIVED IT IN 2 DAYS. I WILL DEFINATELY PURCHASE FROM THIS SELLER IN THE FUTURE.

This text book was obviously used, but is still in good shape. The cover has a sticky spot on it, and there's a stain on a couple pages. Overall I'm happy with my purchase because it serves its purpose and I paid half of what I would at my school's bookstore.
