Summary: Hire A Tutor
Comment: I agree with the other reviews - this is a poor book. Examples are terse, not well explained, and often don't apply to the exercises you have to do. College Algebra is an intimidating class for nonmajors (perhaps for majors too), and this book does not help. I'd encourage any professor with a choice not to use this book.
So what to do if it's required, like it was for me? I'd say buy the book used (lots of low priced options currently), and use the savings to hire a good tutor to help explain what the book doesn't. I did this, and it did help a lot. I really only turned to the book to write the problems down, and ignored the rest, because otherwise I got too frustrated.

Summary: Obviously the authors do not pay attention to reviews....
Comment: This has to be the most useless math book ever! You would think that by the 8th edition they would have made some changes to enable learning. The only thing that saved me in this class was the great interactive web program (which of course must be purchased separately unless you are buying brand new @ $125.00).
I used to feel that I was fairly good at math. Thanks to this book, I (and the rest of the students in my class) feel like never taking another math class again!!

Summary: Why-oh-why does my school use this book?
Comment: I'm currently struggling through this book. I've had to supplement my reading with other textbooks. It is exactly as other reviews have stated - it's like the writers expect you to know the material already and skip any explaination. Avoid this book.
