For a grad student
24 Jan 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got this for my daughter-in-law as a gift. She had this book on her Amazon wish list for a while and, as she will be graduating in May 2012, I thought this would be a good reference book for now and when she is in the working world. This must be the book/author to go to so she was thrilled to get it.
It was delivered in a timely manner and she said it was just like new.
If she loves it, then I love it! Thank you Amazon.
