Cengage Advantage: Horizons PDF

I purchased this book through my school bundled with the workbook and online registration code. This is a looseleaf book and cannot be sold back through the college bookstore nor, as of this writing, through Amazon (look for that little "Book Trade-In" banner by Amazon). I am not thrilled with this purchase.

The looseleaf version does not withstand normal wear and tear. In fact, it is more likely to lose pages if you leave it unbound. It will become damaged through normal use even if you put it in a binder (the holes become torn) and you are likely to lose pages due to this damage.

Having seen both the fourth edition and the fifth edition, I can honestly say that there is no significant difference. There are some students in my class who are able to use the fourth edition book with little to no issue while we are reading from the fifth edition.

The audio portion of the book does not work well. To access the audio, you must purchase an online access code through Cengage ($35). The audio tracks do not stream fully so you must download the entire track. In theory, online access is a good idea because anywhere you have access to the internet, you can access helpful tools along with the audio, but it is poorly implemented and extremely flawed. My class has had problem after problem accessing the online portion of it.

If, however, you have problems with carrying too much weight to class, using this looseleaf book could be your best bet. If you know which pages you'll need for the class, you can leave a majority of the book at home while only bringing with you the pages you need. This can prevent damage to the book, but if you are like me, you need the entire book for reference purposes.
