I like the order and the sensible presentation of this Algebra book. I have been working through it to see if I am truly preparing my students for the next step in their learning. I haven't been able to find a teachers edition but appreciated the assistance of a friend who checked to be sure I was correctly completing the steps (it has been several decades since I last took college algebra).

For a College Algebra textbook it's very good. I can't say I loved it, but that's the subject matter.. not the book itself. Does a very good job of explaining things in an understandable and occasionally entertaining way. Plenty of exercises and examples to help.

It's a very engaging textbook, but its price tag is hard to swallow. It's very informative and helpful and easy to get around.
