Be glad that you didn't have to get last year's Bernstein & Wild text. Reading that was as pleasant as trying to eat a cement brick. Lots of wails of grief was heard due to the poorly written, example-deficient text. Glad they moved back to the Sondhi & Fried text. I actually bought that as my supplementary text just so I could translate the poor writing on the originally assigned book. We were guinea pigs indeed.
