"Colander's unique writing style makes the text hard to put down.  One of the few text books I've truly enjoyed reading.  I think I'm starting to think like an economist, the economic decision rule has been guiding all of my decisions lately."

"I have to say that your book Macroeconomics is one of the most interesting, informative as well as funny text books I have ever read. Your sense of humor is great and frankly a much needed 'shot in the arm' for education. Thanks for taking the time to write it!"

"Hey! I'd just like to say that your textbook is awesome. The web questions have really got me interested in furthering the lecture in the chapter. It's truly a great way to learn, and it's so frustrating how so many textbooks get caught up in tedious problem sets and explanations. Thanks. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's lecture."

"Dr. Colander, I wanted to thank you for writing "Macroeconomics" the way that you did. I am just finishing up the course through the University of Phoenix - Online.  It is a five-week class and the humor and plain-talking approach you use were not only refreshing, but invaluable in getting me through a subject I absolutely despise.

I am a television news producer in Phoenix, Arizona. So you'd think after a degree in journalism and years of covering consumer news, I would have a grip on economics.  Not a chance."

"I am e-mailing in response to the E/Colander Microeconomics book that I use for my class. I would like to let you know that this is one of my favorite books that I have had since College. I enjoy how the book has the important information also in the side columns of the page. The book is easily accessible and the chapters are put in a good order. However, I do feel that the first few chapters could go more into depth since a lot of the concepts are used throughout the rest of the book. I would also like to add that I enjoy the way the book was written. My macroeconomics book is boring, dull, and hard to follow along. I think it is great that the author relates the concepts to personal experiences and puts it in a language that I understand. I hope that my other college books can be like this in the future."

"My name is Juan Camilo Gonzalez and I am from Colombia. I am also a first year student at Grinnell College. The reason I am writing this email is because I really appreciate the help and enjoyment that I have received by reading your book "Economics" which I got as a present from Raviindra Parashar, my economics teacher at United World College. Even though, I have not read the entire book, I am looking forward to read it all and obtain all the knowledge and enjoyment possible from it. Thank you again for this great book, it is and will be an inspiration for my economics studies and for my own life where the economic theory can be applied continuously. I would write more but "I don't have space... an example of scarcity."

"I am a student at James Madison University, and was introduced to your textbook, "Microeconomics" this past semester. I would like to congratulate you and all those who helped create this textbook on an exceptional job in writing and editing both the textbook and study guide. Your textbook truly gave me a taste for Economics that none of my fellow classmates can truly understand. I would like to thank you not only for writing the book in a way that truly kept me up at all hours of the night and made me laugh, but also for helping me earn an A in the course. The way in which you wrote the book is a sublime example of what college students wish for: interesting yet efficient, funny yet challenging, clear yet complex... I encourage you to write as many textbooks as possible in hope that you might reach more students in the way that you have reached me."
