Open and Shut Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)in town. Rosenfeldt worked in marketing for Tri-Star pictures before trying his hand at screenplays, and this, his first novel.

College Algebra Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The marketing machine for Stewart's books is working wonders, but the books aren't.

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a university lecturer at three universities, I get plenty of questions about these things.

A big problem...

Kaplan Insider's Book of Business School Lists Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Yes, the premise is good. Unfortunately, I just don't have any trust for the data. For example, they list Babson College as in Maryland, but it is in Boston.
