"Vaughn's text covers all that an introduction to critical thinking should cover, is well-written, features thought-provoking examples and exercises, and is reasonably priced."--Nicholas Smith, Borough of Manhattan Community College "Vaughn's Concise Guide to Critical Thinking does an excellent job in covering how to evaluate different theories/hypotheses--in a concise yet thorough manner. It is far better than any text I have used for informal logic."--Chris Kramer, Rock Valley College, "Vaughn's text covers all that an introduction to critical thinking should cover, is well-written, features thought-provoking examples and exercises, and is reasonably priced."--Nicholas Smith, Borough of Manhattan Community College"Vaughn's Concise Guide to Critical Thinking does an excellent job in covering how to evaluate different theories/hypotheses--in a concise yet thorough manner.

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    I buy books from this seller all the time. The books are extremely affordable. Every once in a while there's an issue but more often than not, the outcome is positive. Packaging is just a thin sleeve with no bubble protection. This leaves the books open to damage in shipping. However, the seller ships for free. Book was actually in better condition than described - a nice surprise & greatly appreciated!! 👍 Thank you very much, seller!! I'll be back with another order!! 😀
