It is what I ordered - This book was labeled as loose leaf and I didn't really take heed to that. So when I got the book it wasn't a normal book. However it is exactly as described and is exactly the book I need. Thank you.

Kindle edition of the book - hard to navigate. - This book has good content, but the Kindle format was very hard to navigate. When i read through a chapter, I had no idea how long or short it was, or how much further in the chapter I had to go, unless I reviewed the material before i read it. I disliked that unless I was on the chapter page with all the links I could not jump to particular sections of the text. I would have liked to have the "master chapter outline" outside of the text box in a navigation bar, for ease of use.

I also disliked that the content was organized by "locations" instead of correlating pages to the physical text book. I disliked it because a book this size there are tens of thousands of "locations" that are in this book.

The images that were in the book were in the Kindle edition, but all the charts and graphs were very small and low resolution, and some were barely readable. I would have liked to zoom into the images, to get information and detail, more so than the zoom feature they have for the text. Additionally, the bookmark feature was difficult to control and arbitrary. If I book marked a page, the book mark would only reference the first line of the page, not necessarily the content i wanted to reference. Plus I found it frustrating that neither the highlighting feature nor the notes feature did not work on this book.

If you are getting this for a class, which I bet you are, I wold buy the electronic version from another company, with PDF style page references and more navigation control.

Seller did not accurately describe this book - When I purchased this book, the seller listed the condition as "Excellent." Once the item was received, I noticed that the book's cover had torn edges and significant spinal damage. I felt misled. On another note, the actual text is extremely useful and I suggest this to anyone studying psychology.

Worth the money.. - I bought this product because it was not only cheaper (about $75 cheaper than the new paperback), but loose leaf (so I didn't have to lug the WHOLE book with me to class). I could take only the pages I needed. You do have to be careful when the pages are in a binder because the holes are close to the edge of the page and can tear easily. Overall, I would buy it again without a doubt.
