Ratings and reviews

Extremely pixelated, unreasonable to charge $50 for this, I need it for class but it is painful to read. Edit: I notice the trim of the text book pages around the words pasted onto a white background. Since you are the actual publishers of this book, what reason could there possibly be for you to scan the book when you have the original documents you could upload as text so it is not so pixelated? I do not understand. Not fair to charge money for a pixelated scan.

Going under display options -> zoom -> pressing the '+' button helped fix the pixelated nature of the book. Note that it could have been updated or re-uploaded since March, but I just wanted to mention that I don't have a problem reading this once i formatted pages to 1 page at a time and zoomed in using zoom options.

Required for a class, and like hell I'm paying 80 bucks for a looseleaf copy. What you see is what you get, it's a precalc textbook.
