- Awesome Pricing!
Brand new book, awesome pricing, and excellent delivery time. Perfect alternative to buying over-priced books at your College Student Store. This was about $50 less even including tax and s&h.

- Puzzled...
If you have to purchase it for your class - sure, go for it, however, I would never recommend it a bedside reading for people interested in microeconomics - the content is very dry and puzzling at times...

- Good intro to the subject, not for in-depth analysis

- Gaps in conceptual explanations: not for the intelligent reader
I currently use this book to teach at the University of Michigan. (I chose it because it's what has been used here before.) The book is written in an accessible, reader-friendly style. It has many examples and pictures, which make it attractive -- a feature, I suppose, that is necessary to hold an undergrad's attention in these times we live in.

But what annoys me is the absence of conceptual rigor/detail and the sudden jumps in explanation. I want my students to be able to see what is going on and appreciate the simple elegant logic of microeconomic theory. Instead the book reads like it's delivering information to you, but isn't really explaining why it makes sense.

Here's an example. In Section 4.2 on Income and Substitution Effects, the effect of a price change is decomposed ... Read More
