Rating:  - Nutrition BookThis book was advertized as used-good condition. I can tell that this book had been opened, but it doesn't really show any wear or any marks or highlighting. It is in better condition than advertized!! I orderd it on 8/5 and it was shipped on 8/6. I feel bad because the book was sold to me at a reduced cost and then it was shipped standard parcel post...much more expense than 'book rate.' I will definately purchase college books through Amazon in the future. Thanks. Read More Rating: - Perfect!This product arrived quickly and as promised, with no highlighting. The book was in fantastic condition!
