    The used book was exactly as described like new. The seller promptly shipped my book and did not play games with the shipping fee I paid (included in the price) . Several sellers include the shipping fee in the price but then when they ship they opt for a cheaper shipping fee so they profit from the difference while they let the customer wait for longer to receive the item. This HONEST seller did not do that. Transit time from GA to Miami was what I paid for and exactly 3 days in bubble envelope

  • Best book to understand Dyslexia and how it affects learning.

    All time best book on Dyslexia. It is more of a scientific book written for the layman. I found it the most informational book about this condition. gives the Science Research into Dyslexia and then how Dyslexia can manifest itself all through life, from childhood to teenager. Then is also provides many links to even more research. I have provided this book to everyone of my child's teachers, those that choose to read it, I see more success in their teaching and the interactions with my child.
