I took an online class and this was the textbook we used. I am not the biggest fan of online classes because if I have a book that isn't easy to understand I will e-mail my professors until the end of the term. This book explains things clearly. I think the only flaw is it didn't have the definition in the back of the book. Each chapter focuses on different aspect of advertising. It starts off with beginning of publishing and grows to current forms of marketing like Twitter and Facebook. There are many topics that I have lived through and I think that makes the book more interesting to read.The online sections (code sold separately... learned that the hard way) were even some what engaging. The on-line aspects have videos that run and you answer question randomly about what you saw in relation to your chapter. A few were snooze worthy, but some (the under armour) were really interesting to watch. All-in-All I really enjoyed this textbook.
the book is in very good condition =)i bought this book for ad theory class and it delivered fast (i got this book even before some classmates who decided to purchase online at the university's book store)the seller is very sweet and leave a note in the first page of the book~! these little things can always make customer feel so good~!^_^
The back of my book looks to be water damaged... I taped the peeling back cover to prevent further tearing.
It didn't come with connect plus! I just wasted my money!
The book came in a timely manner, about a week. It was in very good condition for being used - it looked brand new to me. There are no blemishes on the cover, no folded pages, or writing in the book, just a sticker on the binding that said it's been used.
Awesome service and product! Thank you!
Just what I needed at the right price!
this book is for my ADV 205 class, it's just a briefly introduction for advertising department. if you just want to know something about advertising, don't choose it! it is really boring and its examples is really old.
