2016 MLA Update - PORTABLE Literature

As textbooks go, this was prefect. it arrived quickly and in good condition. Initially ordered the paperback edition which was not what the professor wanted. This hardback edition was different, for some reason...and the right book for the class. Thank you

My son is taking college courses in high school. It's a great deal, as he gets ahead and i don't pay tuition. However when you rent a book from the store, they must think it will be gently used by a college kid, get used once a week and left in a dorm room the rest of the time. My son needs his books every day. It is in a backpack and no matter how careful he is, it is too well used for the store to take back.

This text book came in new condition like the store said it was and it got to me in the time it said it would be delivered so I didn't miss out on too much in class without it. it is worth getting if you need it

Well great timing and great condition! Real life saver really hehe. This book was one of the very first things I purchased at the store so not gonna lie I was pretty unsecure on how things would turn out. Luckily, everything's good and the book has been awfully useful for class. As I said it arrived at a proper time and in really good condition.

I was hoping for some highlights or some notes in the margin but other then a very few fold up pages and cover the book is brand new. It came earlier then I expected. I would truly use it for this Summer semester.

I used this book for a college literature class. It is a great book, I loved most all of the short stories, plays, poems and more. I only thing is that before buying this book look for past ed. I bought this one not knowing that I had the book in the ed. before. The cover is different but that is all my friend had the older book and was just fine, Save some money.

There were pen markings, underlining, and numbering of paragraphs on different pages, along with notes written in the margines of many pages. But I honeslty didn't mind, so long as there was no coffee stains or anything, which there wasn't.

This product was in the exact condition that it was said to be in. I was not disappointed at all. I would recommend this product for those who don't care if the book looks a bit used but is otherwise in great condition.
