Review
"This is the best revision that I have seen in years. I think the students will appreciate this also. This is more in line with how I teach the class."

"I am a strong supporter of your text and like the effort that is put into making the text better."

"Overall, I think the changes are positive. I like this new presentation better than going into so much detail about the worksheet. I like that you are putting that information in appendix A."

(On new Chapter 4) "This chapter provides an excellent upgrade of the chapter materials over the previous edition. Good job with the updated version."

"I am very impressed with this revision. […] I like this revision very much and plan to continue using this text."

Customer Reviews

Well laid out, not a strain to follow or learn from.
This book was real easy to pick up the accounting basics that the authors presented. The text is broken up with graphic presentations and real world examples which makes it easy on the eyes and the brain. At the end of every chapter is illustrative problems, discussion questions, multiple choice, exercises and chapter problems. When you've completed a chapter you really feel you know the material. Plus there are tons of internet stuff. Worth the money and cheaper than the other accounting book I was forced to buy.

I have found this book to be a okay for college classes
The book does a alright job of teaching students how to learn accounting. It lacks answers to which could definitly help students. The book's main advantage is that it has many real life examples that help students relate to accounting.
