  • Great value in a 9 lbs book.

    I love all that is related to the book's content. The book being very heavy makes me regret how people used to read and learn before screen learning (through computers), was made available. With 9 lbs, of weight, it cannot be read other than in a desk. I wander was it for marketing purpose why they did not divide it into pieces. It would be a more comfortable reading to have it split into at least three smaller books.

  • Expired program. Book not on great shape

    Product was expired. I had to contact the manufacturer and negotiate into a smaller CDX package. The book had visible wear and a chunk missing from the binder. I would call it in fair shape.
