Linda Day said Avoid the shorter version and go for the hardback!. I bought the "shorter edition" for a class because I was trying to save money with a paperback.

I got this for college and since unfortunately lost it, but wowee if you want to learn about the absolute pinnacle of mankind's music and how to classify and identify it, this book if for you!.

Other than that the online code was used, I was expecting to use the code to get homework done. Otherwise it's in good condition.
