This book is colorful and it has many illustration so it won't make you feel bored. Besides "The Psychology Book", you can find another series such as The Science Book, The Economics Book, The Business Book, The Sherlock Holmes Book, The Philosophy Book, and etc.

          For the price, especially for student, honestly it's very expensive but it's  worth  because of the quality of this book, so you don't have to be worried to buy it or if you really want to read it, you can buy an e - book and the price is cheaper than hard book.
