not very happy - 2009-10-13
Reviewer Rating:
seller wrote on the package that the book cost 100$ and i had to pay twice the price of the book to get it out of customs... could have bought the book brand new for less money in the end.

seller said he did it as a favor for me ... maybe he should ask his customers first.

I wanted the Classroom in a Book with the Cd included, it was wrapped, it was new and it did include the CD as I expected. Some of the books dont have the CD, I found that out the hard way.
