Customer Reviews

Very helpful for "survey" and "college accounting" courses
This well-written text closely tracks the content of "Survey of Accounting" and "College Accounting" textbooks and courses offered at many community and 4-year colleges. ("Principles of Accounting" courses are similar, but they contain more theory than the other two. This book is still good, but might need some supplements.) The exercises and problems are excellent, and the solutions appear right after them so it's easy to check your work. I would have given 5 stars if there were a few more memory aids and helpful hints to make learning the material even easier. But overall, very good and easy to follow.

What a Lifesaver
Just what I was looking for. College accounting was long ago and unused for many years. This book is a great one for dusting off the brain cells. It is well written, easy to understand, and even has T account diagrams. It's like college in the comfort of my own home. The exercises are to the point and provide ample worksheet space. Much better and certainly more affordable than many textbooks.
