Required reading can be a delight!

The course "History and Systems of Psychology" seemed less-than-thrilling and I was prepared to be bored out of my mind. For psych majors, however, it is a wonderful class and this book is pleasant reading material. It's easy to understand, full of cool tidbits, and surprisingly fun. It's one of the few textbooks I regret selling back - now I have to purchase it again (because it's worth it).
The Seller is Awesome

Needing a book for a class I looked online and contacted the seller explaining what I needed (how soon). The seller got back to me almost right away about what they could do and was right on with getting the shipment to me like I needed. I would recommend this seller anytime.

History of Psych made fun!

Although I didn't choose this title on my own (it's a required textbook for class), I actually learned a lot. The writer's sometimes humorous style helps make a yawn-inducing topic much more readable.
