Gregg College Keyboarding & Document Processing: Lessons 1-60

This product is the full "Kit 1," "11 e" for "Lessons 1 - 60" for "GDP/11" and it includes the Textbook, Student Word Manual, Software Registration Card (Access Code for on-line assignments), and an Easel (to prop your book on). I bought this product as "New" and "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com," because I did not want to risk not getting a good access code. I received a brand new, shrink-wrapped "Kit 1," so the access code worked perfectly! If I need an access code, I only buy products that are listed as "New" and "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com," because it is not worth the risk of getting a code which has already been used. I got this for just over $108, but at my school's bookstore it would have cost me over $160, so this is a great value, and is the exact same kit my bookstore was selling. I only wish Amazon.com had done a better job with the description, which is why I give this a four star review. I assumed it was the complete, new kit, but it did not say anything about the Access Code or Easel on Amazon's description, so I was not sure. Also, it would have been nice to have a better title, and more pictures. There seem to be a lot of listings on Amazon for this type of package, but it was difficult to tell which was the correct one I needed. ISBN 978-0-07-746760-9 and Part of ISBN is 978-0-07-735660-6, whatever that means. There are also two MHID #'s next to the ISBN's.

This was a kit for a college course that I had to buy. I couldn't rent it because we had to have the code that went along with it to do our work. Renting books you're never guaranteed to get these codes. The book ofCourse was brand new and everything was included. I know that the books are priced due to the publisher and others but I just wish that they would have a way when renting books that have codes that they could add on the description if the code is included. Some classes require them and some do not. Obviously the ones with the codes would be a bit more but worth it due it the rental would be a lot cheaper than buying a book that I will never use again after this semester. Pleas think about trying to add this feature if it's at all possible. Thank you Kim

Packaged came completely sealed, unopened looks like it’s brand new! The access code has never been opened either! I am so grateful. Will be ordering from this specific company again. I ordered the access code alone from another company as well and it was already in use.

I needed this book for an advanced typing class at my junior college. I purchased it on Amazon because it was $20 less expensive here than at the college book store.A word of caution: This book must be used in conjunction with an on-line teaching/lesson website. To log into the website, you need an unused access code that can only be used once to create a user account. If you buy a used book, the included access code has probably already been used, rendering the book alone worthless, unless you buy a new expensive access code from the publisher. The access code I received with my book purchased from Amazon worked great.The reason I have rated this typing learning system only a three star is because of the vague instructions on some lessons, and the fact that a few times the website had a timeout (which could be mitigated with better written software). Because of timeouts, I lost my typed lesson several times and had to start over. Not the end of the world, but it is frustrating, and I hate to waste my valuable study time doing homework twice.

I was very reluctant on buying this kit for my college keyboarding class because I was worried that it wouldn't have all the things I needed. After reading what seemed like a million reviews I just went for it. This kit does come with the software registration card, the main textbook you will need to do your lessons, a student word manual, and a cardboard easel to put your text book on while you type. This kit is for lessons 1-60. It had everything I needed for my college class and it was A LOT cheaper. I saved about $80 buying it off amazon instead of through my bookstore. The program itself is very good. It explains things well and is easy to follow. So I recommend you buy this if you are going to college and don't want to spend a lot of money.

hi i received this bundle in 2 days with free shipping, and the cost is much cheaper than in college bookstore, my college is selling it for $170.00 and i saved a lot on amazon, i am making others life easier by giving this review. it contains everything that you need, a registration code, an essel to hold your book, a small manual to accompany which i feel not necessary, and the main book of document processing.. its all in one big box.. though amazon dont give any such description and so its difficult to understand what you are ordering. i feel the other students before ordering just order a book and you can buy the code online on the gdp site.. well it both makes the same cost.. amazon saved my money..thank you so much amazon

Amazon delivered... They provided me with my order just as advertised. I saved almost 30% off from the purchase price at the book store. I am a struggling "new" student, and when I went to my first class, we already were given assignments due for the next class. But I hadn't bought my text-book yet (like most of the class). Well I didn't want to get to far behind, and was told about amazon.com. It was quick and easy. I would recommend them to anyone, and have. Give them a try, I think you'll be back, I know I will!

I rented this textbook and it was a used one that I received. The textbook itself is fine and there was some writing in it but nothing bothersome. The textbook didn't come with an access code so beware of that rental textbooks does not always come with access code. I had to buy an access code separately through the publisher for $72 in order to do the assignments. But still, the rental cost + the access code fee is still cheaper than buying the book. But if you need it for more than one semester than it may be cheaper to buy it.
