Legit? Textbook for TESU business capstone

These are the PDF versions of the textbooks and it's the newest version that is required 21st Edition. When I did the TECEP two years ago, we only required the 19th Edition. Seems legit to me, I guess if you purchase it, you're TOFTT (taking one for the team) and seeing if it's valid or not. I haven't actually purchased from that site before, how did you get directed to them? Most rentals are now PDF rentals and cost about the same amount...

Ah, I see. Here are a few sites I use often for searches - and I input the ISBN to get this.
There are rentals from Amazon, Chegg.com if you want as well as rentals on other sites.

Don't forget worldcat.org !
There's always the off chance that a nearby library has a copy of the book you need.

Make sure it is the US version as well, as the international versions don't include the same cases.

I took the TESU BSBA Capstone this past summer (2018) and the case studies for the course where different than the ones you listed here.  You'll need the edition that is listed for the current course.

No, that edition will not work, the cases are different. Yes, the cases change with every edition. I'm sure they do that to require students to get the latest edition each time.

Can any of you taking it this year list the cases in it? I have another book now that is supposedly the latest one.
