Book Reviews of Public Personnel Management: Contexts and Strategies (5th Edition)

Book Review: Way too expensive
Summary: 2 Stars

This book is OK, but considering how many books are out there on this subject, I'm amazed at its high cost. Unfortunately, my professor chose this book for our class, so I need to get it. On the positive side, the book is available at our library so I will just photocopy the needed articles without having to actually purchase the book. Professors, please think about the cost of the books you require your students to buy. This kind of price gouging in the textbook market has to stop.
