Customer Review: The Mary Engelbreit Desk Calendar has been my Christmas gift to Me for several years.

I have either the 3rd or 4th edition but was forced to purchase the combined edition for both classes. The one good thing going for this textbook is the... more info
Customer Review: This is a really good book, but I was disappointed that there are no color plates.
