Customer Reviews
Great, but could be better!
I think this textbook and workbook is great. It gives you a lot of real-life examples as well as a lot of practice problems to apply what you've learned. The biggest drawback for this product is that it is a hassle to get your hands on a copy of the solution manual. This book only comes with solutions for the self-study problems which are a handful after each chapter. It includes a bunch of practice problems where the solutions are in a separate manual that only professors and teachers can obtain. Otherwise, you can try to buy the solutions somewhere online even though those people aren't supposed to sell them. If you try to go to the publisher, they won't let you buy the solutions either. So in summary, this textbook is pretty good, but without the solutions readily available, what's the point?
Satisfied
I received this in time for my class and the service was great. I would definitely by again from this seller.
Great Learning tool, but not cd is NOT Mac compatable
I am currently using this book and like it, but if you need to use the cd be warned that it is not MAC OS compatable. The book is easy to understand and has lots of practice problems.
