First and foremost, be aware if there are any reviews referring to "textbook", they are not for this "Cram 101 Textbook Outlines" which is supposed to be a textbook companion.

"Cram 101 Textbook Outlines" is useless!!! This is nothing but a bunch of glossary. And a half of the book is blank for writing notes. What a rip-off!!!
There's no outlines at all. No chapter summaries, no
explanation of concepts. Totally useless.

I have used "Collins College Outlines" series (I rate them 3 stars) and "Barron's Business Reviews" series (I rate them 5 stars).

Never buy any of "Cram 101 Textbook Outlines" series.


Technical notes: "Cram 101 Textbook Outlines" is POD (Print on demand). No wonder quality of printing is inferior (Looks like a xerox copy). And priced too high for this quality. For those who are not familiar with publishing industry--POD is used for ultra small quantity less than 100 copies. This is a telltale sign that book is not expected to sell minimum quantity (usually 3,000 copies) that commercial publisher is willing to
commit to publish. Simply put, POD means inferrior and
overpriced books. A work of amateur.

I LOVE the textbook. Fantastic!

But this is NOT the textbook. It's an inferior Cliffs-notes (not Cliff notes :) type product that's just a very long glossary of terms from the book. That's it!

No formulas, no flow charts, nothing like that! You will NOT learn what you need to learn by buying this product.

Contrary to how it's listed on Amazon, neither of the authors of the textbook appear to have had any involvement in the creation of this product. The book is uncredited--"An Academic Internet Publishers (AIPI) publication." Hey, I don't blame the person or people who made this product; I wouldn't want my name associated with it.
I was sorely disappointed and urge you to not buy it.
