for the course. Custom package version of Accounting Information Systems, by Marshall Romney and Paul John Steinbart, 12th Ed., Prentice Hall, 2012 with Quickbooks 2010 software. Package ISBN: 1256667544 Note that this is custom book to reduce your cost and available only from the Memorial Union bookstore and Textbook Corner to my knowledge. It also includes software with a value of over $200. Current plans are to also use SAP software licensed by ESU and accessible over the Internet. This course will use a custom book which are selected chapters from the Romney Steinbart Accounting Information Systems book bundled with Quickbooks software. The ISBN for the package is ISBN 1256667544. You can obtain this bundle of custom chapters and software from either The Memorial Union Bookstore or Textbook Corner in Emporia. I've chosen to customize the book in order to significantly reduce the cost for you. If possible, please obtain it from the Union Bookstore or Textbook Corner to acknowledge their support to keep the costs reasonable. The ISBN for the custom book alone is 978-1-256-03299-1(You must have Quickbooks too so the book alone is of little use to you.) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU PURCHASE YOUR BOOKS AND SOFTWARE FROM ONE OF THESE TWO BOOKSTORES. They will MAKE SURE you get the correct materials. If you choose to purchase them from other sources YOU run the risk of the incorrect items for the course and since it is a short summer course you will have VERY little time to correct it. You can not borrow my books and NO you can not have extra time to complete assignments because you don't yet have the book or software. As of 514/2012 the publisher has NOT gotten the books to the bookstores. If there is a significant delay, some accommodation for that will be made in the course. You may, if you choose, purchase the entire (not custom) book from Prentice Hall. You need to obtain the latest edition, Edition 12. You must then obtain the software separately. The book is Accounting Information Systems, 12/E, Marshall B. Romney and Paul J. Steinbart ISBN-10: 0132552620 ISBN-13: 9780132552622 Publisher: Prentice Hall, Copyright: 2012. This is without the Quickbooks software. Suggested retail price: $206.67 Quickbooks Pro can be found from various sources ranging in price from $129.99 (Trinity Software Distribution) to $649.99.00 (OfficeMax) (you probably should not trust any source that is very cheap). Intuit also has a "free" 30 day trial version of Quickbooks. While you might be able to use this, I would not recommend it as you will be charged $52.76 per month after 30 days if you forget to end the subscription.

You can also obtain the book from other sources but is then your responsibility to have the correct edition and have it on time. NOTE that this is NOT the book Dr. Waegelein uses in his face-to-face course. |
| You
can also obtain books from sources other than the Memorial
Union Bookstore and Textbook Corner, however you will have
no guarantee of having the correct book with this option.
Online purchases have often resulted in the WRONG book, the
WRONG edition, or not receiving the book on time. None of
these are valid excuses for not submitting assignments or
reading the material on time. You take a risk when you don't
purchase the book from authorized sources and you are the
one who must deal with the consequences. NO, you may NOT
borrow my book as I need it to prepare each day. |
