Sears & Zemansky's University Physics, Vol. 1, 13th Edition 13th Edition

Paper cover tends to curl which is a nuisance.

The book came exactly as expected. It was intact (for the most part) and had all the pages. The spine was in good shape and the covers were still firmly attached. The edges were a little worn and there was noticeable water damage. I was not informed of this at the time of purchase but it works because it is way cheaper than buying the textbook new or even used from a regular college textbook retailer.

Extremely helpful textbook.During the first half of my introductory physics class I glanced at the book only once, mistakingly thought it was too complicated in its explanations and then cast it aside. This was a mistake.Like a physics textbook should be, this book revolves around practical examples of the methods it teaches and dedicates about half of the chapters to varying levels of every relevant type of question, followed by exceptionally well-explained explanations.I am now studying for my final by going over all of these questions. Simply fantastic resource. I have never valued a textbook so much.If you are assigned this book for class, use it. If you are looking to study introductory physics (mainly mechanics, wave motion, fluids, thermodynamics) on your own, use it.

I bought this book new thinking it would come with a access code for using [...] for online homework but it doesnt so now I have to spend another $50 just to get the code. It is better to just buy a used one and pay for an access code.

Amazing collection of whiny reviews. This text is one of only two CLASSIC introductory college physics textbooks, towering above all the others and deserving of that characterization, the other being the textbook by Haliday and Resnick. Young (and Freedman) simply carry on the tradition of this amazing text begun by the original authors more than fifty years ago, now dead, Sears and Zemansky. Generations of serious physicists began their college training with one or the other of these great textbooks. So if there are too many words and you want the picture book version of physics, change your major and get over it. Physics is hard and not for you. BTW using this textbook my students regularly get 4s and 5s on the AP Physics C exam.

Book was described as "Good," I received it almost as new. Very few wrinkles on the cover. No writing or marks inside. Pages are clean and intact. Overall, was in much better condition than expected.

Quality used book, cover was bend up pretty good. Great price for engineering book.

The book, not physics. Maybe it's my pea sized brain. No, I'm pretty sure this book sucks. A lot. I read the first four chapters and wanted to kill myself. I questioned my ability to complete the course. I wondered if I had been riding the short bus my whole life but only realized it now. It wasn't me, it was the book. Use it to start your BBQ.
