Reader' Reviews

Great Product, Horrible Service. / / 2008-10-20
The textbook is great, easy to read, and slightly overpriced the way textbooks are supposed to be.
Customer service however, was horrible.

When I originally ordered the book online, I received a message saying that the book was no longer in stock. My credit card was still charged however. Upon calling the customer service representative, I received a non-English speaking man who did nothing but tell me that it would be there in about 3 weeks. It was a horrible experience that I hope not to repeat if I continue to shop on Amazon.com.

Greatest book ever / / 2008-10-09
As much as I really didn't want this book, since it's for school, the shipping was fast and the book was in perfect condition! Thanks a lot!

Awesome / / 2008-09-29
The book was in really great condition the only thing is that it took longer than I expected to get here.

Introductory, but not much more / / 2008-09-29
I know this is an introductory text, but goodness. There seems to be quite a few text errors in the book. The text is kinda, I'm not sure how to put it, playful. It is more at a level with beginning high school kids (and I am using it in college)

That aside, the information in the book is OK, but I'm sure there are much better books out there.

Functional book / / 2008-09-23
This book serves a function. That function is to teach one about the basic fundamentals of business. It has interesting anecdotes from time to time, but by and large it is a book for school. Want something entertaining that teaches about business? Find something else. Something that costs way less than this.
