Not worth buying new one
Bought the new book and not rental because it said we get access codes and online materials with the new book, unfortunately I didn't get any codes, one of the many reasons I bought the book is to gain access to online resources and they specifically say rental books doesn'thave access. On the back of the book it mentions the same, saying there are ancillary materials available from companion website. I had no luck, if anyone knows about this please do tell me.. This book is black and white, I expected it to be color atleast, and the paper super thin and low quality, for the price I expected more for $100. It is not that this was the only resource for me, I have e-book from college.I wanted to save this book to as a Bible, but It is a total disappointment for me.
