Text Book

Here are links to venders who sell our text book: "Focus on Personal Finance"
The text book is also available at the college book store as well as numerous other outlets.
It is usually avaiable across the street at Otay Books.
It should also be available as an on-line text book.
DISCLAIMER: I receive NO COMMISSION, KICKBACK, REMUNERATION, ETC. from any of these venders.
Do not complain to me if they turn out to be superflakes (or worse) who lose your order twice (or try to rip you off).
Personally, I am very wary of buying products via the Internet and I very rarely do so. Good Luck!
