- An Incomplete EducationI've seen this book in numerous catalogs and knew that my 15 year old daughter would love it. In the catalogs it was around $35 + shipping. I found it here at a much lower price; the book arrived promptly; and it was in excellant condition. I come here first for any of my online shopping needs. Great job guys!
