I shopped around a lot before I purchased this book from a used book dealer. I needed more than one, so I had to shop around. I ended up buying more than a few. These books are in excellent shape, no highlighting, no writing in the books, and fantastic bindings. The base price was less than most of the prices in the Amazon listing. Even the publisher's price for a NEW book was less than most of the listings in Amazon. I find it sad that folks are selling books with higher prices than the publisher is charging for a new one.

The real trouble with Algebra and Precalculus is that many of the topics are interchangable. This book does a fairly good job of covering many different topics. I wish some of the examples were a little better, but there a lot of solutions and answers in the back for the many problems at the end of a section. I think ideally, an Algebra II course should be very skill based, focused on "solving for x" in various situations. A little more concrete and a little less analytical. A precalculus course should be focused more on functions and function analysis. Also it should include trigonometry and topics typically covered in a calculus course (without differentiation or integration) such as polar coordinates, parametrics, and vectors.
