This review is from: International Business: The Challenge of Global Competition w/ CESIM access card (Hardcover)
International Business by Ball et.al. is a great book. I just took my last exam from WIU. The book is current and has material covering up-to-date content. Many of the companies listed in the book are large American Corporations (Coke,GE, Kraft, MacDoanlds, etc.) just to name a few. If you are going to take a course in International Business requiring this textbook, contact me for a good price on a like new textbook with clean pages and the code the has never been used. [...] for details. I purchased this book new from Amazon for $168.00 last August.

Not as promised,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: International Business: The Challenge of Global Competition w/ CESIM access card (Hardcover)
The book was listed in VERY GOOD Condition. However, the book appears to have been folded back, loose binding, there is water damage and on page 175, there are two holes rubbed through the paper. Additionally, there is highlighting and charts are written in. Needless to say, not "as promised". I am sorry, when you are re-selling a school book, it is not cool to write in it and pass it along as "very good condition." This book is not really even acceptable condition at this resale price.
