Customer Reviews

Accounting
Having need this book for a class I was very pleased with the explinations in the book. the material is easy to understand and makes the subject matter decent.

Delivered as promised
Textbook was delivered within time frame promised. Great condition as advertised. Would buy from seller again.

Disappointed
I was led to believe that this item came with an access code for the publisher's Wileyplus online tools because this was mentioned in the "Key Features" segment of the product description. But to my dissatisfaction it was not. I was forced to purchase the access code separately from the publisher's website for about $68. I only saved $2 by purchasing this text through Amazon.com and this is only because I purchased with free shipping. Moreover, it was not worth the hassle...in the future I will purchase from the school's bookstore, get everything I need in one stop, and know I've purchased the right materials.
