Very Disappointing
23 Aug 2010
Format:Hardcover
I used this text as an instructor in a university-level Cost Control Systems course and was exceptionally disappointed. The book is riddled with errors, as are the accompanying Excel exercises on the CD-ROM. This book takes a relatively simple subject and makes it exceptionally confusing through it's poor delivery. For added difficulty, they didn't change the instructor's manual when they switched editions. They simply slapped a new cover on the old edition's manual, so it doesn't match up to the questions and problems. When I spoke with the publisher, they were friendly but offered no real assistance. Please don't have your students waste their money on this book.

F&B Cost Control
20 Aug 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was my first ebook, textbook and if you consider the difference in pricing it was worth it. We really didn't use the book much so I was glad that I hadn't spent the 100 or so dollars it cost at the school bookstore. We also jumped around a lot so I really liked having the option of searching the text for specific things. Nice feature on the Kindle. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that there weren't any page numbers. That made it hard to find certain pages the chef had us reading for homework. Overall, I'd say it was worth the savings.
DOES NOT PLAY ON KINDLE
4 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought the Kindle Edition to play on my Kindle, while I ride the bus to school. After attempting for 3 hours trying to download and talking to three different Amazon customer service people, whom could not figure why it was not working also; I come to find that this Kindle Edition does not play on Kindle, but will only play on Kindle-Fire or Kindle PC, but not on a regular Kindle. This was frustrating, and wish they would change the "Kindle Edition" to "Kindle-Fire Edition" to prevent future hassles to other customers.
