The Purchasing Handbook

The condition of the book is quite good especially for the money that I paid for it. The information in the book was somewhat repetitive but was overall very informative. The class that I'm taking recommended that I purchase this book for information for some of the lectures. The information seemed dated at times because it was written prior to 2000. Some of this information I've seen put in place with some of the corporations that I've worked for.
