3.0 out of 5 stars 112 pages for $53.00? Hmmm..., May 13, 2005

This review is from: The CEO's Guide to Health Care Information Systems, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

I'm used to seeing overpriced textbooks and other computer-related books. 112 pages for $53.00? Give me a break! I suppose this is just about the right length for a busy CEO who would prefer to read the "highlights" in the field, and not take the time to develop a more in-depth understanding. When I become a CEO and have a spare $53.00 to spend, I'll provide a substantive review of this book. Caveat Emptor!
