I can't believe after fourteen editions of this book, the quality is still so poor. First of all, this book is too simple even for a high school AP economics class (the one I'm in now). The examples are stuipid and uninteresting. Secondly, this book is difficult to read because of the font type, the graphics and other things annoying to the eye. This means reading this book will put a student to sleep. Thirdly, one look at the table of contents will reveal that the book is totally out of order. It jumps into macroeconomics without saying anything about supply and demand essential to microeconomics (that's later in the book). Lastly, reading this book will not increase your knowledge of economics unless you attend the lectures. So reading this book on your own will only make a vague impression of what's said but no understanding. So, teachers and professors, do your students a favor by choosing another textbook.
