I don’t care that this was my textbook for class

[Connor Garris]

I will not be shamed for using my textbooks to count towards my reading goal

[Anne Marie]

This is an excellent, informative textbook that provides a strong foundation for communication... that is $90. While I would recommend this for an entry level university communications class, this is going to be cost-prohibitive for many students.
