Jarvis pocket companion
Format: Paperback
got it for nursing school at UT Tyler. Love it as it's a great little resource to haul around everywhere which has a significant amount of great information which is needed for my classes and clinicals. Highly recommend it but due note that the 8th edition contains the same information merely a few pages are numbered differently and that older edition was nearly $30 less in price. Just an FYI if looking to save a few bucks...

Ordered new, got it used
Format: Paperback
Paid for a new book. It arrived very clearly used. It is in decent condition but it is frustrating paying that much for something to arrive used with damage.
