content OK, but printing and structure is bad
Content is OK, but 10 years old, so no recent new insights. The book is no fun to study. The quality of the printing is bad (like someone printed it on an old printer an then made some copies), some diagrams are hardly readable. Furthermore the structure is not recognizable in the formatting (for example paragraph titels), which makes it hard to know on which abstraction level you are reading.

Must read for marketing majors
I found this book very helpful for the marketing tools discussed for designing and marketing new products. It covers most issues for the pre-introduction phase of the product life cycle. Consumer measurement techniques are quite elaborate and simplified.
The only drawback is that the edition is old (1991) and hence misses out completely the high-tech products from the dot-com age. Can be used a good resource for most non-high tech products.
