Customer Reviews

Worth the money
I was skeptical when I bought this but it is worth it. It gives you tips, example problems and shows, you how to break them down step by step. The only shortcoming is that the book does not cover every type of problem in each chapter. It does give you a good hint on at least how to start.

Great for Undergrads, not so great for Graduates
I purchased this study guide because it was recommended by my instructor for a graduate level accounting course. I think the study guide would be great for an undergraduate taking Intermediate Accounting, but it's not of much use to a graduate student unless you've never had accounting before. For an individual who majored in accounting and has practiced it for 15 years it's kind of a waste of money. That being said, there is nothing wrong with the book. It just isn't geared to someone with a lot of experience. It is geared toward someone who has very little experience. For them it would be money well spent.

Must Have
This book has help more than I can say in a few short words. Excellent examples and explainations to the material in the book. I recommned everyone getting this book in addition to their texts.
