2.0 out of 5 stars Not ready for release, April 6, 2008

By	Alice Flowers - See all my reviews

This highly touted "30th anniversary edition", sadly, was released before it had been adequately proofread. There are many errors in the text (mispellings, typos and awkward and difficult to understand sentences) and the CD can not be installed on Windows XP Home Edition, only on the Professional Edition. The company is working on a "patch" to fix this, but can't say when it will be out. There are also many places in the workbook where an exercise or assignment is typed on two pages, which requires turning the page to complete it. This is very cumbersome and could easily have been avoided by a copy editor. I would advise anyone who can find an alternative, not to buy this book set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful learning tool, January 26, 2009

By	CPC teacher "Karen" (California) - See all my reviews

This book gives a lot of information necessary to really understand billing and coding. The number of cases to be worked on and the variety of different types of insurances gives the student a well-rounded sampling of the coding field. This is a comprehensive teaching tool, not for the short term class, but then billing and coding shouldn't be taught quickly. For a real in-depth learning experience, I think this is a great book.
