"missing content :(" according to VUAnnieLou. I purchased this book for a class that I am currently enrolled in and a week into the course I find out that the book I received from Amazon was missing Appendix B. The book itself is organized well and has wonderful content from what I have read thus far, however, I am incredibly disappointed in Amazon for selling a faulty item missing content. Be sure to double check your book when you receive it otherwise you will be starting your class without all of the needed materials!
