Review:

"I have been using Bette’s mathematics for retail buying (since its 6th edition) for many years. The 8th edition is by far the best one. The content of this book is very comprehensive and covers almost all retail math a retail buyer typically needs to know. The content is very straightforward and the students like the retail math problems." - Sheng Lu, Assistant Professor, Fashion and Apparel Studies, University of Delaware, Proposal Review

"Well organized. I love the key concept formula list and the case studies. Answers at the back are super helpful." - Jaye Thompson, Adjunct Professor, Retail Merchandising, University of Minnesota, Proposal Review

"Overall, this is a very good and useful book I can easily use full of exercises and case studies. I like the list of key terms and key concept formulas at the start of each chapter. Also the Concept/Problem/Solution framework applied to all the numerical examples is a clear example of good practice and should be kept in the future." - Miguel Martins, Principal Lecturer, School of Fashion, University for the Creative Arts, Proposal Review

"The structure of this book works very well with the way I teach. The majority of our students are interested in becoming designers and entrepreneurs rather than retail buyers and I feel that this text does an exceptional job in conveying the importance of the bottomline. Of all the textbooks that I have used or reviewed on this subject “Mathematics For Retail Buying” is by far the best and most comprehensive book that I have used to date." - Dhona Spaconsky, College Professor, Lecturer, and Instructor, Fashion Design and Merchandising, Academy of Couture Art, Proposal Review
