Text book
Accounting for Decision Making and Control I typed in my CRN number and found that other book sellers were more reasonable. So, I ordered from them. However, Amazon did not mention the other new book was a 4th edition and not the 6th edidtion I originally wanted. Shame on Amazon. Seller had a new book, but wasn't what I expected.
Brilliant author who does not know how to write a textbook
I feel sorry for any student who is required to use this book for a class. The author is brilliant, but does not know how to write a text book. Over 1/2 the book is homework, and there are very few examples, most of which are not beneficial for reference with the homework.
If the author reads this, you know your stuff, but change your style of writing. Don't make the book like a John Grisham novel and then here is your homework. Learn from authors like Garrisson and Noreen in regards to writing style. I suggest your next edition (should you publish another) to be a complete re-write.
Beware of the International Edition if you are a U.S. student.
While sellers may claim that the international edition is the same as the North American version (ISBN 0-07-297586-5), it is not true! While the content is similar, it is not the same. Just in Chapter 1, the problems do not match up. So, if you are an MBA student in a North American university, I recommend buying the North American edition. You think you will save a few bucks (like I did), but in the end you will have to buy the same edition as the rest of your class and get stuck with two books.
