Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Microeconomics Study Guide
Smooth process of ordering and receiving the book. No problems.
As far as the material in the book is concerned, it is a great overview of key concepts at a basic level. One drawback is the lack of practice problems on transfer pricing.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - great
book arrived a little late but it was due to post office damaging the package - not the sender's fault. book is in great condition, just as described. not the best econ text book ever but it's what I needed for my course.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good book for Microecon
I used this in NYU's Stern School of business for a basic microeconomics course. It was good covering the basics.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Pindyck's textbook needs more solved problems
This text uses clearly-written definitions and lots of colorful charts. However, it is missing a crucial element for learning the subject of microeconomics: lots of problems worked out in a clear and systematic manner. I had to buy a Schaum's guide to make up for this deficiency.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great book, AS AN INTRODUCTION
This book is truly a good book. It goes through all major areas of microeconomics in a very fathomable fashion. The point is that this book is introductory in my opinion, and when reviewed as such, I find it to be very good.
The illustrations and explanations are good, the use of examples and tying the theory to real-world occurences makes the subject matter easy to grasp.
The only gripe I have with this book is that it should indeed carry a little more calculus for precision. Having it in appendixes is actually a good idea in my opinion, but those should explain the math needed a little better, and the book itself should also explain a little more clearly that the approach of the book is a simplification of what they'll find in intermediate/advanced texts on the subject, math/calculus is unavoidable.
Anyway, if you have the time and find calculus to be a bit rough, use this book, it'll teach you the basics. If you already know som calculus and words like "Lagrange" doesn't scare the hell out of you, get something a bit more advanced, as you will need that later anyway. Frank Cowell's book on the subject is very much reccomended if you're good at the basics and know a little Microeconomic theory already.
