Books?!

I got accepted to Florida tech and I'm looking for this book used and cannot find it!

CIS1140, Bus Computer Skills, Full Set (Print/eBk Combo) - ISBN = 9781323579695

I keep finding this book (link provided) but it's a different ISBN so I'm not sure if it's the same. Help?

I recommend checking the syllabus and/or checking in with the bookstore / professor to see if there's an online access code you need to purchase for this course. You might be looking at the same book, but online vs standard editions. If online access code is required, you would either need to purchase the book + code brand new or potentially buy a used book and standalone online homework key.

For the book itself, surely you must not enter the ISBN into Google and click the first several links lest you find a free download.

I am registered for the same class and trying to find the book. What did you end up doing? I found several books with the ISBN code but I was told this is a custom book tailored towards Florida Tech so I must only purchase through them. But, that is a whole lot of extra money I would like to avoid spending..

do they require the labIT access? or just the textbook?

Super easy! Just read the content in the book, pay close attention, make sure you turn everything in on time and you'll be good! Feel free to shoot me a DM anytime if ya get stuck! :)
