text, because it is brand new. Compare prices at:

from the publisher
Our experiences in previous years were that several students had some
difficulty obtaining the book within a few days from Amazon.com and
Barnes and Noble despite what they tell you. Others had no trouble.
The publisher is the surest way and has a competitive price. You can
also order the Student Solutions Manual directly from the publisher. Make sure
you obtain the 3rd edition of the Student Solutions Manual (2005 publication
date.) You might also search around for a used book.
You may find the Student Solutions Manual to be useful, but it is not required.
It has solutions to about 25% of the end of chapter problems. The Student
Solutions Manual is available for purchase directly from the publisher. |
