This was honestly the worst textbook that I have had since coming to college. It's like they didn't bother researching any of the topics they covered. The book was full of inaccuracies and outright wrong/incorrect information. Also, they cite Wikipedia for some of their mini-articles. If it isn't good enough for a 2 page paper in college, it isn't good enough for a nearly $200 textbook.

Dated, and misinformed. I only gave it a 2 b/c of the amount of material given. This was a required book for my class, however; as a PROFESSIONAL take the definitions as 90% accurate. Yet the bulk of the book is definition.
There is little instruction in this book about 'how' to setup, administer, or begin in the digital management field.

Cases at the end of each chapter are superficial. It is easier to get more updated information from online sources like Wikipedia. Not recommended even for undergraduate students. 20 year-old people handle more information than this book.

I received an email confriming my order within an hour. Constant emails informing me of shipments. The book was in great condition as described and arrived before expected day!
Great Fast Service! I will defanitly use this company in the future!

I paid a lot of money for a textbook that contained citations from Wikipedia. Others have also complained about that. It is not a source and no one should pay $100 + for a textbook that would not be considered a valid academic source because of the references contained within. How thoroughly was this book prepared or was it just thrown together so there could be another "new edition" to get more $ out of the those who have to pay for it and use it. There is some contradictory information in this text as well. Granted there was some useful info in there but its validity is in question because of the sources used.

I love this textbook. It really spurred my interests in technology. Too bad the accompanying class wasn't that good. It kept me interested throughout all 11 chapters, but I was a tech TV aficionado since the beginning. Learn about the Napster founders and those who made Kazaa.

The book was shipped & recieved in the condition as described. Would order from the seller again
