Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Hard book to get my hands on Comment: This textbook eluded me for 3 weeks and almost made me drop the course. I had to order this book 3 times before I found someone that actually had it and shipped it. I was very relieved when this order arrived in my mail box and ended a difficult situation for me at College.
