Update! Seller acknowledged the discrepancy in the mailing procedure and made it alright. Feel free to order books from them based on their new knowledge of how to ship hardback books with protective packaging. Thanks to the seller for being forthright in making amends. This is an honest and above board seller.

Haven't had a chance to read or use the item yet but I know Suze Orman is intelligent and offers sound advice. Received the order in a very short period of time. Did have an issue with my order and was very impressed with the seller who was quick to correspond with me and he offered an acceptable resolution. I recommend this seller and I would definitely shop here again.

    Robert Builder's Bonanza is just the book I need to have around as from time to time I would check it out from the library. It covers so many topics of interest to me as I put together my first robot. Here I am a 70 year old retiree and was introduced to the arduino world and then to robotics. So much fun. Keeps the mind grinding away at something new!

  • Book Description

    I like this book because unlike the other editions, this edition contains examples that accompanies the lecture. I decided to buy this book for one of my classes at CSULB.
