 Never got it! May 1, 2009

I have never had a problem with anything I have ordered through Amazon.com. I have purchased school books for college, kitchen gadgets as well as books and movies. This is the first time I have not received my product. I did send them a request for refund which they said will be taken care of immediately. This won't stop me from purchasing items through Amazon, but I will avoid this company in the future.
 Decent ideas for the price April 9, 2009

Many of the Math "tricks" were similar to those taught in the math curriculum used at school. There were some different ideas, however, so the book was still worth the purchase.

We got this book from the library to supplement my 5th grade daughter's homeschool math, and I've decided to purchase it. My undergraduate is in Physics, so I've done my share of arithmetic. What is so cool about this book is that it contains every trick I've ever come up with or figured out, plus a whole lot of others that I wish I'd known.
Learning these tricks is so much cooler than using a calculator!
Well worth every penny! June 2, 2008

It is plainly a superb book, I'm amzaed that the mathematical tricks in this books are so useful in everyday life. It liberates one from growing dependency on calculators. It's a treat now to be able to do complex multiplication & division calculations in ones mind. Regular practise of tricks is a must for max benefits.
