College Physics by OpenStax (hardcover version, full color)

It’s a physics book
Well, covid19 has me in self isolation for the time being, and after a while I started getting bored with video games and staring at my phone, so I decided to do something productive.Let me preface with, I’m a polisci graduate that went out of their way to take as few advanced math classes as possible.I wasn’t sure if I’d be interested enough in the subject to warrant a physical book, so I downloaded the free kindle copy to my iPad and have been working along the last few days with my extra downtime.It’s a spectacularly written book. Easy to understand when coming from a total novices perspective and very thorough in its explanations. I had a little trouble tracking down answers to the chapter questions (since the openstax book site wants teachers to only register for the teacher materials), but a decent google search warranted what I needed in twenty minutes or so.Definitely recommend to teachers looking for quality classroom materials and students of life that just want to learn something new.

Physics Essential
I used this book for my physics class and it was very helpful. Problems are clearly worked out.

Small font.
The book is an excellent book besides the font size. The font is too small. It is difficult to read while focusing/staring after 20-30 min.

1st semester college physics course
Lots and lots of information. This text is perfect for the class. Solutions can be looked up for all questions. Apps are available with all of the books contents. Im a book worm and looove books, only reason I bought it. Was not expecting 2 volumes.

Rental experience was great
Rental process was wonderful. Super easy and excellent value. Highly recommend! Unfortunately 5 week physics course was not so enjoyable...I'm old school so really appreciated a physical book in the age of all of this online learning.

Exactly as described :)
The book was exactly as described, since it was used, there are some dents here and there but I don't mind. Pages are still intact and nothing is damaged.

Extremely poor quality
The book is available online for free, but I thought it was worth the money to have a physical copy (I find it easier to read/study from a hard copy book). I spent $50 thinking I'd be able to get some of that back by selling it at the end of the semester, but within two weeks of light use, the book started to fall apart.I understand you get what you pay for, but please know that this book is VERY poorly made. The binding will start to break and tear almost immediately. I took the book to school in my backpack only 3 times and now the cover is barely hanging on by a few remaining shreds of paper. I can't resell the thing even though I've been very careful with it, and I think that was their intention. I'm going to duct tape the cover on and call it a loss.

Awesome buy
Text book was brand new as promised, nothing wrong with the condition. And It was the actual legit textbook! Not a rip off and an awesome price when trying to save some money for school. Way better than paying $200.

Very good book for the price!
University physics, but solved with algebra not calculus. You can get the pdf for free. The only drawback of the book is the weight and size :-)
