Horrible Book 
Our school told us to buy this book because supposedly it is a solid text. I'm warning everyone not to buy this book. This book is riddled with errors, and the answer key given is often wrong as well. Poor quality editing, for example, sometimes the book tells you to refer to something, but its the wrong table, or they add a certain element to a practice problem, but they refer to the wrong one. NOT worth 150 bucks.
