Here is a testimonial from a Professor in Tennessee
Let’s face it — a lot of college textbooks (esp. in business) are boring and almost painful to read and study. They’re written in a stilted academic style and are typically focused on broad, theoretical views instead of the practical, up-to-date issues we face in our daily lives. Randel knows this and has carved a niche in this publishing market that will serve him, and his readers, well. And, while I thought the stick figure illustrations would make for a ridiculous and distracting way to highlight text, I was very pleasantly surprised to find — instead — they make the narrative much easier to read and digest. (Guess it’s a left-brain, right-brain thing!)
I like how Randel adds in expertise of others in the field, offering insightful quotes from authors: Dave Ramsey, (The Total Money Makeover); Harv Eker (Secrets of the Millionaire Mind); Robert Manning (Credit Card Nation); James Scurlock (Maxed Out: Hard Times in the Age of Easy Credit); Liz Pulliam Weston (Your Credit Score); and Suze Orman (Suze Orman’s 2009 Action Plan). Obviously, since this is a sort of who’s-who in the field, he’s in good company!
Bottom line? It’s an entertaining, yet comprehensive survey of the credit card issues facing consumers that is authoritative and practical. For the best cure — while it can be read in just a couple of hours — I prescribe keeping it bedside and reading it in doses of 10-15 minutes at a time. Then, turn out the light and dream of financial independence!
Highly recommended for public, college and military base library collections and for gift-giving by banks, financial planners, CPAs and yes, parents.
