Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5

1) Great service!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
My book came in great condition and there were no hassles or complications. It was my first time ordering through amazon and I found the website easy to navigate and understand.

2) Great textbook and a useful reference.   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I needed this book for a class and I usually trade them in or sell them at the end of the semester. I'm going to keep this one and add it to my personal library.The chapters can be long, but they are all filled with good information and very useful examples. Most of my Professor's lectures were taken directly from the contents of this book. The book also references well and lesser known Psychology work to bring you important information from the field.I probably could have gotten a good grade without going to class every week and just studying this book. As it is, I'm sure I owe a lot to the A I got in Social Psychology to this book.

3) social psychology   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I needed this book for school, it was priced way below the cost the schools were asking for. The book arrived prior to the date indicated, which was great. I had the book a week prior to my class starting. I love this site for school books.

4) Good read   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This is one of the better textbooks that I have been assigned to read. Throughout my introductory 101 Social Psychology class I've read pretty much the whole book. The examples were interesting, and I enjoyed how many of the concepts introduced at the beginning of each chapter correlated with something that had happened not too long ago in the real world. The illustrations facilate a better understanding of the theory or subject matter. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to gain a better understanding of social psychology.

5) Social Psychology 5th ed   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
This book is very easy to understand, and the real-world examples/analogies are helpful (even if they are a little in excess). It's one of the few textbooks I've bought that I don't consider a (total) waste of money.
