Intermediate Algebra, Fourth Edition (Hardback with Test Prep Video CD)

Condition

GOOD: The pages are in good condition and are writing free except for the front end page, but this writing does not obscure the text. There is a "used book" stamp on the top outer page edges. The back cover's outer lower corner is "dinged", but the rest of the book remains in excellent condition. The Test Prep Video CD remains in an UNOPENED sleeve at the back of the book.
