I don't know if it's just where I got this book but the print was horrible. The book itself is great, I definitely gained better understanding of the concepts for my Methods of Theoretical Physics class through reading the associated chapter of this book. But the print made some of the text hard to read, and the images were unusable. Sometimes the pages would be shifted so the text was running off of it leaving me to fill in the blanks. The images were basically huge black smears that i couldn't make heads or tails of. And sometimes the writing would fade into a light hard to read spot. I wasn't the only one with this problem in the class though so some of the books must be printed on someones home scanner or something because that is just ridiculous. The book itself was good though probably even worth 5 stars, some chapters were dense and hard to wade through but what can you expect. A friend of mine had a copy that actually looked like a textbook is supposed to without the printing problems, if you manage to get one of those copies then I can't see any problems you'd have with this.
