“The fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves,” Shakespeare wrote. For whatever reason, I never checked (nor was it listed) what particular EDITION of this book was available for sale. Needing the 3rd edition, I wound up with the 2nd edition, which was, for me, totally useless. The posting on Amazon did NOT specify the edition. Because of a pending seminar deadline (I’m a 69 year-old graduate student), I was forced to buy a new 3rd edition of the book at retail. So, I now have two versions (one outdated) of the same tome, which, in my effort to save money, cost me considerably more than I had anticipated.

I was quite pleased with my purchase. I was especially happy that I received the book within 5 days of my purchase. The purchase price was significantly lower than the purchase price at my university’s bookstore.

I found this book to be informative and very helpful in learning the varoius theories of adult learning. Chapters are well organized and written. It might be a bit dense for the new student, but completely worth the investment of time to read and comprehend.

I bought this book for a masters study class because it was half the price they were going to charge me at the book store. This book is well written and easy to read. I have read other books by Merriam and they were not this well put together, but I would recommend this book.
