1: One of the better chem books I've had...
Harris presents the material needed for Analytical chemistry in an entertaining and very clear way. I do believe that he could have gone more in depth into most of the topics, however this book works well as an introductory textbook for chemistry students. His examples are clear and well written and the problems in the back of each chapter will definitely test your strength in the concepts presented. This book is entertaining, and you'll suffer through/enjoy many amazingly bad chemistry jokes along the way.
If you want to be an analytical chemist, get a more in depth textbook. If you're looking for an introduction, this book is a good choice.

2: GREAT
Item arrived on time and in great shape and much cheaper than I would have had to pay at my university. Great transaction.

3: Analytical Chem Book
This is a great product for the class that I am taking. It correlates very well with the class and is an excellent learning tool.

4: Great textbook, makes things interesting
Analytical chemistry isn't really exciting...at all, but I surprisingly found this to be one of the most accessible textbooks I've ever had. The language is simple yet scientific and the author illustrates most concepts with practical, memorable examples. I compare this text to my math or physical chemistry textbooks and it's a world of difference. It's clear to me that an actual human being wrote this book and wants me to understand the material.
Great book.

5: Not quite comprehensive
For the topics this book covers, it does so well. This includes MS, IR, titrations, etc... However, as one being trained as an analytical chemist (specifically mass spectrometrist), I feel compelled to note the complete absence of NMR material in the text. I consider NMR one of the most powerful analytical tools at a chemist's disposal. Hence, this text is good for those being introduced to analytical chem, but not for those looking for further study.
