I have no complaints about the book. I am glad someone had it at a reasonable price and I didn't care that it was used. I needed the book for a last minute class that I didn't know I needed to take for college. The book is in good condition and it is readable so that's all that matters. Thanks!
My opinion

This book is a very nice compact edition. I was required to have it for school. The reading is very fun, if a little puzzling at times. It requires effort to understand some of the selections, but that can make it all the more interesting.

This is a great compilation of literary work which I needed for school. The CDs that came with it are a valuable tool not to miss out on. Thank you for the prompt shipping.

Excellent literature overview
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This was required for a college course I was taking at the time, but I liked the book so much, I kept it after the course ended. I enjoyed the genre breakdown and selections of literature. Very thought provoking choices! If you'd truly like to learn about different literary techniques and how to become a "better reader," I'd recommend you give this book a permanent space on your bookshelf.
