Book Reviews of Weight Loss Kit for Dummies

Book Review: Buyer beware - The CD is missing
Summary: 1 Stars

According to both the book itself and the description in the Amazon site, this book comes with, a CD-ROM packed with valuable weight loss tools, including a customizable weight-loss journal; the food group pyramid shopping list; a behavior/food calendar; a daily exercise chart; a menu planning guide; and more", but the books that Amazon has in stock (at least the two they shipped to me) do not have the CD.

I have called Amazon and asked them to correct this but their agents did not take my complaint seriously. They offered me to give me my money back but they did not want to give me the complete book with CD as advertised or to investigate why the CDs are missing.
