Is online version available?

by kiran.1784 Sun Aug 15, 2010 2:33 am

Hi,

(1) I am planning to buy
The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review, 2nd Edition
at http://www.manhattangmat.com/Store.cfm

I stay in Hyderabad (INDIA). I just want to know whether there is any online version available at your store for this book? because I need this book at the earliest.

Please suggest.

Regards,
Kiran.

I would appreciate if anyone provide some information on this forum.

If the online version of the book is not available, is the book available at any store in India, Please let me know.

Regards,
Kiran.

The Official Guide materials are not published electronically. Nor are the ManhattanGMAT strategy guides.

If you come across someone selling or giving away electronic versions of any Official Guide books or ManhattanGMAT strategy guides, then that person or website is distributing material illegally.

Please don't steal our work; if people do this, then we won't be able to afford to update our materials, write more problems, or answer questions here on the forums for free!

Yes, that's true. We try to keep a lid on it as much as we can (for our own materials), as do other companies, but we'll never completely stop it, unfortunately.

For those who are tempted to use such materials, I'll just say two things:

(1) Be very careful about sources; I have seen things billed as "official" materials that weren't or that were riddled with transcription errors.

(2) Part of being a good business person is being ethical. Would you be okay with your customers stealing your own products and services? Are you willing to use something illegally to avoid paying $50 or $100, knowing that if enough people do this, these companies will eventually go out of business and future students won't be able to take advantage of the good research and materials development that we can afford to do now?

(And, no, I do not personally take advantage of such things in any industry. I have never even downloaded a song illegally. I practice what I preach. :)
