As a newcomer to merchandising, I found this book's explanations of key terminology and tips on merchandise planning to be very helpful. The math, however, was entirely too simplistic to be of much use. This book contains an entire chapter on how to use a calculator. If you're looking for a good general overview of the field, this is a good book. But anyone with an elementary education should already know the math.

I finally understand math! This is the first time I ever enjoyed a math class. I learned one step at a time how to solve problems easily. There are problems, with business definitions explained, examples, the forms you really use on the job, and helpful hints on how to solve the problems successfully. The book is easy to follow, and really helps you with the work,instead of frustrating you. I'm working in a retail store while I attend school, and I finally understand the paperwork I have to complete. The book shows you how to understand and calculate all the retail math skills you'll ever need to know!

This book is unlike any math book I have ever studied, in all my years of education. It is not only a book to study from, but it is a work book that you should write all over! The "helpful hints" in each chapter help any student understand and it gives them something to go back to and review, when questioning one self. When most students think of a math course they are usually afraid. This text makes a student want to try and excel. The step by step approach is none threatening and is easy to follow,even for the math student who continually struggles!

I am taking a retail math class in college and using this book. I always hated math, and never did well in high school. This book is easy for me to follow, and most of all it really is step by step and now all the math work makes sense. I know what I am learning now will help me throughout my merchandising career.

IT WAS PRACTICAL-EASY TO FOLLOW-AND MADE MY JOB SO MUCH EASIER! NOT AT ALL LIKE TEXTBOOKS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL DUMB--NEVER GOT LOST--HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

DO NOT ORDER FROM THESE PEOPLE! I REPEAT, DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM! They are total crooks! I placed an order on the 7th for a college textbook, and still have not received it! Mind you, today is the 29th! I plan to file a claim on this seller, and hope that they are kicked off of Amazon. Their prices are not worth the hassle, time, and inconvenience you will incur! I have attempted to send multiple emails to the seller, and have gotten 0 responses! I have never had such a horrible experience with Amazon. If I could, I would give them 0 out of 5 stars! This is the WORST SELLER EVER!

I bought this book for my merchendsing class and its quite boring with little math exlaination. Also be careful who you buy it from the one I recived was full of writing and the book itself was pretty messed up.

For anyone new to the field of Merchandise planning this is a godsend. It halps to sort out and explain the terminology you will encounter and the math required to perform you duties.

I highly recommend this book for those who want a detailed understanding of the math required for merchandising. I have recently changed positions from a Buyer to Merchandiser in a medium sized company and this book has really helped me to fast track through the math I will need in my new position. Thanks for such an easy to understand book.

Well, It's my require textbook. It is pretty useful, but I hate the black and white copy. Anyway, you don''t need to get a brand new book. Used book is good enough!
