Used not new

I ordered a new copy of this book. The copy that I received was used, as evidence by the “used sticker” and the stains/spills on the pages... a little disappointed I was charged for a new book. Also, some of the printing is either faded, or very light. This has made sections of the book challenging to read.

To be short, and to the point, but also to cover most tests.

Too much info that your professor might now even use. So it mostly depends of what kind of professor you get. The textbook is fine.
