4.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I paid for

I got what I paid for. $6.50 for a marked-up copy, and it is heavily highlighted, underlined, and tabbed. The index and glossary are not great in this edition which is why it's 4 stars.

I bought this book because I love aviation in general and thought it would be cool to learn more about the technical details of airports - I absolutely loved the section on the airside/airfield with plenty of schematic diagrams of runways, taxiways, and airfield lighting, etc.

Delivered on time and is definitely used. A few pages toward the back of the book are coming loose from the binding. Not happy about that. This is the first used book I've gotten that has started to fall apart on me. I was happy about the price so gave it 3 stars.
