(4 stars) - Financial Markets and Institutions
The book was in new condition as ordered and arrived safe, although received a little later than expected. Overall, I was satisfied.

(1 stars) - Not what was "displayed"!
I got this book for a class I am taking at the University. I was very suprised when I received the book to see that it was the "teacher's edition" and it states very clearly on the cover that it is "NOT FOR RE-SALE"! The book that was displayed in the ad was the regular student edition! Now I am not going to be able to re-sell the book back to the used book store after the class is over! I feel very cheated! Also, the book is in a much worse condition than what was advertised. I payed $100 for this POS!

(4 stars) - Shipped quickly
The product shipped quickly and was in good condition. However, it was the "Professional Copy" edition and is not meant for resale.

(5 stars) - Saved a bunch of money
Easy to order and recieved it very quickly. This edition is the same as the 6th edition and MUCH cheaper.

(1 stars) - Subprime Loan Crisis
This book which I purchased new from Amazon is missing pages 297-344. If I tried to understand the hot topic in all of finance right now I'd be up a creek because the publisher didn't feel I should have the tools to learn about it. Ridiculous for a book in its fifth edition.
