Review:

"Students appreciate the detail of instruction the Shelly Cashman Series texts offer and the numerous resources made available to them. Once students have taken a course using a Shelly Cashman text, they do not want a book by anyone else." - Linda Haberaecker, Davenport University

"The Shelly Cashman Series is to computer applications as Kleenex is to tissue." - Instructor Diane Folse

"After using your text this past semester, I think it is great! The instructor's supplemental material (tests, practice, PowerPoint slides, etc...) make the teaching task easier! The book and supporting materials are ten times better than our previous text." - Dr. Stanley E Meyers, Norwalk Community College
