Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers 5th Edition

Fine book

I ordered this textbook for my Modern Physics class. When I got it in the mail, it was nicely wrapped. But when I opened the textbook and checked the pages, I noticed something was terribly wrong. The textbook was not printed properly!Example: On a page, the front of the page is Page 7 from Chapter 1, but the back of that same page is Page 28 from Chapter 2.Not sure what could have gone wrong with this textbook printing! I always order textbooks from Amazon and this is the first time I have received a defective textbook. The printers and sellers need to be more careful with selling a customer a textbook that is improperly printed!Lesson: ALWAYS CHECK YOUR TEXTBOOKS WHEN YOU GET THEM!

The product is a softcover (paperback) and not hardcover even though it states hardcover. I bought ship and sold by amazon, not from third party. Seems like a cengage issue since the genuine QR code that usually comes with their books shows that it may be authentic and IBSN of the received softcover (paperback) matches the supposed hardcover version.Its a bit ridiculous to market it as though it was a hardcover, maybe they are trying to get more money by charging the paperback as though it was a hardcover. I feel scammed since I was excited to receive the book.
