Holt Modern Chemistry: Study Guide Student Edition

Thanks, for the great finding this book. This was a purchase for my daughter's school studies.

It came on time and was new. This is the second time I got this book and it was on time both times.

Thanks ! Great !

Thanks

Modern Chemistry: Study Guide was missing the first 52 pages!!!!! I had to buy a new one because when I realized it, I had already thrown away all the return papers. The book looked new, so I didn't think someone would scam me like that!!!!

I ordered two books for my high schooler's Chemistry class, "section reviews" and "study guide" by the same authors, to go with her text book "Modern Chemistry". I was very disapoointed to find out that these two books are identical in the first 80 pages, the same title, the same contents, the same page number etc, but the cover is completely different. After 80 pages, it has some differences on the multiple choices, still look very similar for those I checked. Sadly, from the description, there is no indication whatsoever to show one is an update of another, or one is different than another. Amazon.com's website actually listed the combined price for these two books with Modern Chemistry, so anyone would think (I did) that these two books are completely different! There might be some differences indicated somewhere I did not find, and I would very much like to find out about it. Why can not these two books just have the same cover, or somewhere list they are related or one is evolved from another? I spent lots of time looking for the books, and I am in the biology and chemistry field! I was very sad this is happening and hope to find a good reason about it. I did find out one was printed in 2009 and another in 1999 (from the website, and the books did not show any date on the copyright page). Perhaps I should have been more careful not to buy anything that was printed 10 years ago? Unfortunately, I can not comment on the content yet, since I am still very upset.

I don't see how a study guide can be useful when it does not include the answers to the questions. Don't waste your money.
