A scatterbrained book.
While I only took Texas Government as it is required to graduate, my professor required me buy this book, ostensibly as a favor to his friend, the author.
This is not a good textbook. While I did learn about Texas government, the materials for the chapters are interspersed and requires a great deal of searching to find.

My POlitical Science Book
Everything was great. shipping was fast. the only thing was that the book on the corners were a little bent but not rly that bad, but it was suppost to be a brand new book. Im not sure whether it was like that or whether the shipping company did that, but I didnt really appriate a 150$ book being bent in any way. But besides that everything else was ok.
