Not the entire book....
Do not buy this book if you are following with book in hand. I bought this book for my college class to help me better understand what I was reading....well, what a disappointment. The reader skips over large amounts of the reading. This book should have been free. I don't feel I got what I paid for at all! If it was word for word as many other books I have bought, I would have given it 5 stars!
Worst abridgment ever
This is the worst abridgment of a book I've ever heard. It really wrecks the book.
