I ordered through Amazon. Delivery for fast as I have a prime membership. It's one of the best sellers for Grad school. Sue Breadekamp is a great author. Her work is used in almost all education related publishing, especially early childhood.
I love referring to this book for my profession.

This was a great find! My school bookstore had encountered an issue and did not have any books available with the MyEd Lab. With this price, I was worried that the MyEd Lab might be pre-used and I'd still have to buy an access code. I was so pleased that it was new as advertised! It was delivered precisely on time as well!This was a lifesaver! Thanks so much!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for EDU 119
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2013
Verified Purchase
This book was required for childcare class EDU 119 (NC). After contacting the professor I found out that the online disk that comes with this book was not necessary so the $7 book (instead of $92 in the bookstore) was a real steal.

The textbook came in time. It has a lot of useful material, including photos, pictures, and diagrams. Chapters are large, so you might need extra time to plan reading it. The book was in the good condition, and I'm planning to keep it.

I ordered a textbook for my daughter and when I got the book it was the wrong addition. When I called to find out what happened , the person kept telling me that I was wrong that it was the right one. When I asked to talk to the manager, I was finally told that I was correct and that they didn't have the correct book. It took me over 30 minutes before I got the correct information. I will never order another textbook from Amazon.com
