I gave it a kind 4 because I found quite a few typos and repeats in the book. The quality of the paperback book is a little better that the ones I have seen lately in general.
It is through Paradigm publishing and the accompanying software (at least at my college) is called snap. I do not know if one is a subsidiary of the other or if they are completely separate entities, but on several occasions, the information did not match. For example; if you were to take a quiz or an exam and did not get the answer correct below the question (once graded) it would give you the page number of where to find the correct answer. I learned very quickly not to trust that. Sometimes it was there, quite often it was not.
