The item was ordered and not shipped until the day after it was supposed to arrive. When contacted regarding the shipment, the seller never responded to either email. No apology for neglecting to ship the item as promised. Further, the item was not in the condition that the seller stated. It is in fact used and not a new item: corners frayed, pages bent and item smelled of user's home environment. I will not use this seller again, nor would I recommend anyone else using them either.

Information Literacy Instruction: Theory and Practice, Second Edition
$75.00
I like this book -- there is lots of great information, but the author has a tendancy to drone on and on sometimes before getting to a point and sometimes after getting to a point. Nonetheless, the information is priceless -- the reader just has to dredge his way through, pulling out the important information as he reads.
