Looking Out, Looking In (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac) (Wadsworth Series in Communication Studies)

This is a good book if you need it for class. This is not a great book if you need it for personal use. The author is repetetive and seems to be a little inexperienced and young. That is simply my opinion. Overall, a rated this a 4, because I got my monies worth.

I needed this book for one of my college courses, and Amazon had the best price. I got it brand new for $10 less than what my school bookstore wanted for a used copy. I also got it *fast*, so it arrived in time for my second week of class. There are other people in class who ordered theirs from different sites who are still waiting for their copies 7 weeks into the semester. As for the book itself, it's one of the better written textbooks I've had to read. The subject matter is very interesting and up to date, and I don't find myself bored by it, which is pretty rare for a textbook!

Let me first be clear, I do not actually own THIS book. What I own is the "Looking Out, Looking In" 12 ENHANCED EDITION.

What is this ENHANCED EDITION you ask?? It is this item, "Looking Out, Looking In" 12th edition AND the "Student Activities Manual for Adler/Proctor/Townes's Looking Out, Looking In 12th Edition" PUT TOGETHER IN ONE BOOK!!

Seriously why buy this if your going to have to buy the "Student Activities Manual for Adler/Proctor/Townes's Looking Out, Looking In 12th Edition"anyway?!?

When you buy these books seperately, from Amazon even, it is over $160

I just happened to notice this was sold different from my book and thought it was just ludicrous that these book companies try to gouge all the money they can from people.

This is the ISBN of my book: 0-495-46819-3 Feel free to check it if you don't believe me.

The more you know!!!

I only bought this book for class, but what I learned from it I use everyday in all types of relationships. It has many communication techniques that are practical enough to be used everyday.

Had a problem getting a response from the seller, wanted to cancel product but seller did not respond until the book was already sent 1 week later! Will not buy from them again. Returned the book and still awaiting refund.
