arrived early. came in a very thin cardboard armor. small bend in the corner of the hardcover's cover, but aside from that all perfectly new. if seller included another layer of protection aside from the corrugated cardboard, it would have been perfect.

Prof. Mankiw's book is an excellent text to learn macroeconomics with a solid foundation. It is a step ahead "principles of economics" in mathematical complexity and depth, but it manages to explain concepts succinctly and in a comprehensible way. I would say that it is the current foremost example of macro textbook for someone looking to really understand economics over its most basic notions. The graphs and tables are very useful, while the exercises are a little bit harder...but no pain, no gain.
I wish all textbooks were like this one... November 10, 2006

As an econ student at UC Davis, I have learned to appreciate books that explain concepts concisely and in an easily understandable way. This is one of those few. Chapters are relatively short and are uncluttered with unnecessary examples or tangents. Graphs are labeled with simple explanations that are useful for clarification as well as quick-reference.
I recommend this book to people who want to understand econ without trudging through the swamp of repetition, needless technicality, and headache.

If you're confused about all the different Mankiw Macroeconomics texts floating about out there, lemme set you straight.
The one you see on this page: "Macroeconomics" (ISBN 0716762137) is usually used in 2nd or 3rd year macroeconomics courses in college. This is because the exercises at the end of each chapter can be a little equation-intensive, and some of the exercises, such as the proper derivation of the IS-LM curve, require differentiation. The text of each chapter itself is not so vicious, so a energetic instructor could conceivably use this book in a lower-level course, if you were willing replace the book's exercises with easier ones.
Anyhow, the sixth edition has just come out; this has a blue cover. This replaces the fifth edition, which had an orange cover.
Mankiw is also the author, inter alia, of "Principles of Macroeconomics," the fourth edition of which (ISBN-10: 0324236956) was just released, at least as of my writing. This text is more appropriate for freshman-level, non-major survey courses, or for honors high-school courses, such as AP courses. The exercises at the end of each chapter require only arithmetic and the most rudimentary algebra.
Note that "Macroeconomics" is not just a gratuitous ratcheting up of "Principles of Macroeconomics:" they're two fundamentally different books, arranged differently, and with completely different publishers. There are even massive concepts in "Macroeconomics" (IS-LM model, Solow steady state, the Keynesian consumption function, etc.) which don't warrant a mention in the much more watered-down "Principles of Macroeconomics."
