As a newcomer to merchandising, I found this book's explanations of key terminology and tips on merchandise planning to be very helpful. The math, however, was entirely too simplistic to be of much use. This book contains an entire chapter on how to use a calculator. If you're looking for a good general overview of the field, this is a good book. But anyone with an elementary education should already know the math.
So easy to follow! February 6, 2000

I am taking a retail math class in college and using this book. I always hated math, and never did well in high school. This book is easy for me to follow, and most of all it really is step by step and now all the math work makes sense. I know what I am learning now will help me throughout my merchandising career.

I finally understand math! This is the first time I ever enjoyed a math class. I learned one step at a time how to solve problems easily. There are problems, with business definitions explained, examples, the forms you really use on the job, and helpful hints on how to solve the problems successfully. The book is easy to follow, and really helps you with the work,instead of frustrating you. I'm working in a retail store while I attend school, and I finally understand the paperwork I have to complete. The book shows you how to understand and calculate all the retail math skills you'll ever need to know!
