When it comes to buying a usable product, in todays market, sometimes an old military adage statement; "Good enough for government work" applies. In the case of purchasing this book, at MBS Direct this item sells for almost $200. Writers and publishers are making a killing, at our expense! Especially when they change or update contents just to force students to buy the "Newer Edition". I'll leave rationalism for you to decide. There are several versions of this book available(not referring to editions), versions are manufactured in different qualities. Our two US versions sold are hard and soft cover. Also, to keep things fair and globally marketable, there is an Eastern Economy additions available. With Eastern Economy Addition, THE ONE I RECEIVED, is identical, text wise, to the US sold versions but the quality of print, paper are of less quality. To assure usability, I took the book to class and compared it with a nearby student book, who paid $200. To be frank, in case someones wondering, NO I did not check every page, simply compared the beginning chapter pages, numbers as well as Preface. I did not find any subtle differences, none. If your taking classes, then it may be profitable for you to check out these versions, but do your homework! I can not speak for every text book. I paid $60 for a book that will be used for six weeks, therefore, it makes good sense to save dollars.Read full review
I am selling Handmade wooden toys . Before I listed the items , I thinking if there is anybody who will buy the items , because ,they are painted . Eventhough , some buyer really have this consideration . I am just want to say that their thought is right ,however, We use natural latex glue to do the joining work which makes the toys sturdy and durable. We use safe and non-toxic paint and ink for silk-screen printing. The glue, paint and ink can pass ASTM and EN-71 international testing standard .I want to use HTML code to put the report in my item description , but it failed . So if you are interested in any my items , pls go to my buying guide to check the Testing reports . The toys like mine have exported to west countries , including US , UK , GERMANY , SPAIN ,etc for it is environmental and fancy design as well as beneficial for children's intelligence growth . We are doing honest and long run business . Pls just go my items for your interest . Good luck to you and have a nice day ! AngelaRead full review
I bought this book for a class. Seems to have the same content as the American version. Cosmetically the book looks great other than a little normal wear and tear. great book!
The website that accompanies this book is GR8! It has flashcards, quizzes and lots of useful information. The book has great examples and I found the subject interesting. It really opened my eyes to how companies market their products. I never realized all the games they play to get the consumers attention to their product.
The book is exactly what I was looking for. It is used for my introduction to marketing class. It is very simple to understand for a first timer to marketing. The charts and pictures explain concepts in a broken down fashion.
