Principles of Instrumental Analysis, 6th Edition

My review is for the International version of the 6th edition. The content of the book is good for the most part, but there are some strange things. Some of the problems are missing. For example, in one chapter question 5 is immediately followed by question 7. I checked another copy of the book and yeah, there is a question 6 and it's just plain missing. Also, 200 or so pages of my book are in the wrong place. The book jumps from Chapter 7 to Chapter 16, and the missing content comes a couple hundred pages later.I know "you get what you pay for" and I just couldn't afford the U.S. version but still, guys. Pretty ridiculous. Also ridiculous that non-U.S. students are expected to be okay with a poor-quality copy...I don't even care about the paper thinness, probably makes the book lighter and of course cheaper to print. The content should be the same though!I hope a Kindle version of this book comes out at some point. The cost of the U.S. version is astronomical!

For the price, this book was a great deal. The international edition has slight differences from the original - page numbers are different, it does not have all the Figures that the regular edition has, and the charts on the front & back covers are different. However, the text is exactly the same. If you are looking for a cost-effective way to get a course-required textbook, this is it.

I'm not a huge fan of the content of the book, it is difficult to understand and not very entertaining. But I needed it for school so I can not complain too much about the text. I did receive it in a very timely manner, which was extremely beneficial as I ordered it late. The pages feel like newspaper, so it isn't very durable. But the price is unbeatable!

Dry as the Sahara and denser than a black hole. But very informative.

Cheap and works the same as the hard cover. In black and white and is bulkier though. I don’t mind but others might

Easily the worst textbook I’ve ever purchased and I’m on college degree #3. Not helpful at all. You’re better off just googling whatever you need to know.

You will use this textbook if you are studying about the instruments no matter if you are the professor or the student.

It's my fault, but I didn't know this to be a "budget" version of the book.The paper's very thin and print quality could be a lot better. Don't get me wrong: it's completely readable and you can spend a few hours on it without any strain, it just doesn't look pretty.In the end, I saved a few bucks and I'm not regretting it. Also, shipping to Italy was extremely fast.

This is a great book on instrumental analysis. However, this edition is written on paper so thin you can see the text from the other side as clearly as the side you are looking at. This makes reading very difficult, and I wish I had simply bought a older edition printed somewhere besides India, where this edition was printed. I cannot recommend this particular edition because of this, although other editions on higher quality paper are well worth paying more for.

Very fast shipping! Amazing price!

Excellent quality book.I needed for a class and I saved so much by ordering online. Will definitely ordering books for future classes! Truly recommended.*if In a hurry I do courage taking express shipping or else the wait can long

Good book, but pages are quite delicate.
