I ordered expedited shipping with this item, it took longer to get here than anything I have EVER ordered on Amazon, causing me to not be prepared for a test on the first chapter. When it did get here, in the cardboard mailer, the book had been put in the mailer with about 1/3rd of the pages halfway opened and the pages are now stuck that way because they are creased open. The book is in horrible condition with packaging tape holding it together in many places. I don't have so much of a problem with the book condition, because it was cheap, but my problem is that I payed for expedited shipping...that wasn't expedited!
