My Review
The book contains a lot of useful information for both Standard and Higher. I actually like the diagrams in this book! Everything is clear to understand and easy to replicate into your own note form. Some things may be confusing if you don’t have a solid background and/or your teacher hasn’t covered the topic you are reading from.
The book retails for around £18 or $38.
The book does have, like the other Oxford University Press books, a lack of colour! This book is mostly in blue, which isn’t as bad as orange, but can still get a bit boring after a while!
The above review has been provided by a friend of mine which studies Economics. I don’t own this book personally, but I trust their judgement.
Pros
Great content
Good price
Helpful diagrams
Useful essay questions
Cons
Lack of colour (blue only)

This book is decently priced in my opinion and it tells you everything you need to know alongside diagrams to help explain. The only disadvantage i’d say about this book is that the way it’s layed out is a bit confusing!
Apart from that i’d recommend this book anytime!
