About this Item

The reason for the condition downgrade for the book is a water spot at the top edge of the book extending to almost 2 inches. Otherwise, the book is clean and tight, with no owner names, no bookplates, no underlining, no marking. 269 pages. Blue covers with white lettering on the spine. Dust jacket has some tears and chips at top and bottom of spine plus some evidence of water damage at top of dust jacket corresponding to where spotting is on the book itself. A classic criticism of what Managerial Accountants were doing at the date of publication that has led to dynamic change in the field. The 1st edition, 1st printing is becoming rather scarce. A decent copy.
