This review is from: Business English for the 21st Century (4th Edition) (Paperback)

I had an older edition of this book, and I loved it. Unfortunately, I lost the book, and I decided to purchase a newer edition. I was disappointed to learn this edition has no answers, unlike the older edition. I would have given this book 5 stars, but I was really hoping for an answer key. Aside from that, the book has many helpful exercises and good explanations.

This book seller didn't tell us some pages are missing in this book. If I knew it, I didn't buy this book. Because I need this book im my class, I may have to buy another one.
I don't recommend this book seller.
