Very informative
by Ciara Murphy
The book itself is great. Easy to read, plenty of pictures to support explanation. It’s a shame that there appear to repeated instances of the book arriving in a poor condition. Surely people should be learning to package better!

As an ODP student this book is incredibly useful and will continue to be. Strongly reccomend getting this, especially if you like to make your own notes in textbooks/add sticky notes etc.
The parcel did arrive a little damaged and the plastic wrap it came in was split at the bottom and corners which was probably where the damage came from but it’s only some grey smudges on the edges and a bent front cover so the contents of the textbook itself hasn’t been smudged or destroyed.
