This review is from: Healthcare Finance: An Introduction to Accounting and Financial Management, Fourth Edition (Hardcover)

I used Gapenski's text in my first healthcare finance course. It provided excellent examples and models that I later used in more advanced courses as well as in my career.

Book was in very good condition and great value for the money! Reliable seller and very prompt! Wealth of important information.

Published 17 months ago by D. Bicknell

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect transaction, perfect book
Flawless transaction with this seller and the book was as close to new as you can possibly get - not a pencil or highlighter mark in the whole book.

Published on November 30, 2009 by S. Clough

3.0 out of 5 stars Great condition, long wait time
The book was in excellent condition, however, it took forever to get to me. Over 2 weeks. Too long, seeing that it was not being used for recreatiion.
