You can use the eBOOK.

Commercial uses of the Internet are constantly being discovered. Who heard of TWITTER 18 months ago? The latest edition is the 10th edition. But it is too expensive. You can use the older 9th or 8th edition. The 9th has 95% of the material. The 8th edition has 90% of the material. Students last summer earned A’s with the 8th edition.
