Pretty good condition, but highlighted.
It arrived fast and great condition, my only complaint is that unfortunately over 100 pages are sloppily highlighted so it's a little annoying. Everything else is good though.

Only buy if necessary
Not an easy read. It makes things seem way more complicated than they really are. To top it off, the book is way overpriced. The only reason anyone should get this book is if it's a required textbook for college.
