Title: Don't be confused by someone satisfied with the condition of the book vs the content of the book!
Review: This is a very popular series but the content is terrible! The style is to show 1 - 3 examples and provide practice questions. It is an acceptable teaching method from the 1970s but not effective. Beginning Algebra (Lial Developmental Mathematics Series) teaches concepts, directs students to practice questions that foster mastery of concepts and has thoughtful practice problems. I have no financial disclosures. I have completed Calculus and use math in my job and now help my son learn Algebra. His class uses this book and I use Beginning Algebra and Khan Academy to help him understand and master the concepts.
