Summary: "What you pay for is what you get."
I purchased this book for $6.95 and when I received it the binding was not intact. The book was supposed to be in new condition, but it was obviously not new. For the price, I'm not suprised. I glued the binding back together and it's been working well enough.

Summary: "Maternity & Women's Health Care (Lowdermilk, Maternity & Women's Health Care)"
This book is alright but needs improvement. Some of the resources sited are from less than reputable (i.g. Wikipedia). It needs better organization instead of putting thought fragments randomly in sections where it does not belong, and it needs to stop repeating the same information in different ways over and over through the chapters.
