Bought the digital book for Grad school so I can search for things better, boy was I wrong. The digital book has only 8 "Pages" so searching does not work! put in a word to search and 9/10 times it will not find the word even if you can see it on the dang page! This is not a knock on the material, it's boring and sorta dry but what do you expect in Grad school. Makes me wish i bought a hard copy. But as a grad student I'm poor. Material in book is a 10/10 just because I have to use this dang book in school, and 2/10 for making me work harder than i need to, would give 1 or zero but the material is there.
