Good read
Not much of a reader.But you kind of have to for college.This book is very up lifting and a good read even if your not in college.

Class Book
I needed the book for a life management class that I was taking. This book was over 50% cheaper than purchasing the book through my college. I recommend looking for books on amazon.com first before trying your school book store. Including the item being so inexpensive, the book was also new; and, the book was cheaper than the used version at my school i almost purchased. Thank you Amazon. :)

Reaching your Potential
I'm mad as heck, I am going into my 5th week of school and I have yet to recieve my book or a response to the e-mail I sent letting the seller know of the situation. By the time you resolve this matter the semester will be over. I have to beg and borrow from students that don't care to share.The reason I order from Amazon is because of the great deals, a whole cheaper than the school book store when funds are low! It's a shame you get card number and you have my money just like that, but you make a error, and you move slower than molasses in the winter time to refund my money or the book. Whats up with that?:(Somebody needs to let me know what's up? This is unexceptable.SHOW ME THE MONEY!

If you must get this book, buy it USED!
I was required to get this textbook for a college class and paid the full retail price for it.The written content of the book may have been fine, but the quality is just ridiculous (and definitely NOT worth $140+)!The pages are photocopies, no joke!I was not the only student who felt ripped off (others in my class had received the same crappy quality book).We eventually brought it up to the professor, and needless to say, she was shocked.If you must get this book because it is a class requirement, buy a USED copy and save yourself the funds!

HUMAN RELATIONS Personal and Professional Relations 2nd edition
