[David Steyer · Rating 4 out of 5]

I bought this book and the emanual one. I think this one was a little better quality in thers of Font Size, paper, and information. There is some good information but sometimes I think there is too much information even in the outline book. One might think you do not even need the coursebook it contains so much but be careful your professor has his/her own quirk. ( I said this in Emanual outline review as well)
