Revue de presse :

Very user friendly, easy to navigate through, examples are clear and uncomplicated, examples /case studies are interesting. Well written and understandable at all levels. Overall, I feel it is probably one of the best text books I have ever used. Carol Lazich, George Brown College, Canada Covers retail math throughout the text instead of in its own section. Snapshot and trend watch are better than many articles I supplement from WWD. They are great, fresh applicable for classroom discussion. The overall text is a great, one-stop-solution to teach both buying concepts and actual retail math execution., --John Conte, Wade College, USA

The text has good information relating to a buyers role in retailing. . . A good text for a Basic Buying course.
