Great content. Bad, bad Kindle edition DRM.
It's hard to know how many stars to give a book like this. The book is a great textbook, although there are still a lot of errors in the slides if you use this as an instructor. It's much improved over the previous edition. I give it 5 stars for what it is: a good undergraduate-level textbook that I use to supplement a case-based class.The problem is the DRM associated with this book. This content cannot be viewed in either Kindle for Win8 or in Kindle Cloud Viewer, for no reason I can determine. You also get only two licenses: if you put this on your work computer and your home computer, don't expect to be able to access it from a mobile device as well. Because I've never seen those kind of restrictions before, I was entirely unprepared for them. It was a very unpleasant surprise to set up someplace with my laptop to prepare for my next lecture and find out I wasn't allowed to access the book.Quick tip: although the error message you'll get when you exceed two downloads says you have to deregister any other devices with the content, you don't - and in fact, if you don't delete the content and re-sync first, deregistering won't help. Delete the content, then sync the device, and that will open another license. Also, if you're on Windows 8, the error message you get just says "you can't use this content in Windows 8," and you'll get a similar message in Cloud Reader. Neither bothers to let you know that there's a third way to view Kindle content on a Win 8 computer: Kindle for PC. Use that and you should be able to read your content.5 stars for the content. 0 for the restrictive DRM, bad information, and absolutely moronic viewing restrictions. Great work by Sheridan Titman and John Martin, but Amazon and Prentice Hall really outdid themselves trying to screw it up.

Excellent conditions
The book looks brand new. Delivered in a couple of days compared to the “new” option which would have arrived a week after the course starts. Totally happy with this purchase.

Don't particularly like or dislike the book
Don't particularly like or dislike the book, was required for a course. But my copy has a TON of writing in it and was supposed to be "like new". Oh well...
