  • Value for money

    The book is cheap in comparison with the one circulated in Canada. This boos is printed for circulation in India, some details on India were added thereto. However, the main contents stay the same. There are many mathematical models and formulas discussed in the book.

  • Printed on regular, black and white printer paper

    It appears to be the correct textbook, but unlike other student's textbooks, this one does not have thin glossy pages I have become accustomed to in textbooks. Instead, it feels as though this textbook is printed on regular printer paper and professionally bound. There is no color ink throughout the textbook, unlike the textbooks of my peers. Besides a couple stickers, one of which advertising BooksRun.com, the cover is clean and appears to be virtually brand new.
