Business Essentials (7th Edition)

I have both the 7th edition and the 6th edition, the 7th edition is just a shorter, more compact version of the 6th edition with all the same information. The thing that i will say about the 7th edition is that they made it more colorful and attention grabbing compared to the 6th edition.

Great price on textbooks on Amazon. Book is the same quality as any other source just cheaper. Fast shipping too.

Sometimes the stories that come at the beginning of each chapter can be distracting, but this is a minor issue with the presentation.

I am sure if I ever received the book it would be nice! I ordered a book over a month ago and never got it! I have tried to contact someone and I got no where. I would not recommend ordering from Amazon!

Received book before expected. In same condition as described. Great seller, would definitely consider doing business with them again :)
