    Book arrived with extensive writing (solutions to the problems) for up to 50 pages (maybe more). Listing stated 'good condition' with 'minimal highlights/writing.' This is a significant misrepresentation of the item's condition. I'm very disappointed as the kids who use the book are trying to solve the problems. Reached out to the seller (rmax2137) 2x over the past month with no responses.
