Elements of Argument

By Marlucy - February 26, 2013

The version I received was an instructor's edition with a tab in the beginning of the book labelled, "Free Copy, Not For Resale" and it also states "Free Copy" on the spine of the book. I'm content with it because either way I saved money in the long run, but not sure why this was even up for sale in the first place..
