Review: Very good condition - Very good condition book and the shipping was also very fast. The book was even better condition than i had been expexted. The corners are a litlle bit smudge, but it was mentioned and this does not bother reading. I am very happy with my order and the price was good to for this kind of book. I recomend this seller. Thank you for the very good book :) Review: Good textbook for the material it covers - Good textbook for the material it covers. So tired of seeing new editions of books coming out each year for school, basically taking advantage of students. Teachers completely ignore this, and pretend like some new prophecy was discovered within the last 12 months that's included in the "latest and greatest" edition. Particularly irritating are the 12th or 13th editions of Anatomy and Physiology texts...we haven't grown any new bones or discovered any new muscles that I'm aware of, so ONE book should suffice. Total racket. This is my first OT Pediatrics book, so I'll give it a good review...if they come out with another edition with the same material next year, it will be a different story.
