Excellent Accounting Textbook
Using it for my Intermediate Accounting Classes and it's a very detailed and easy to pick up. It's also very organized with the course material.

Absolutely horrible text
This book has lots of examples, I'll give the other reviewers that, but it doesn't explain very well how they get from point A to point B. This book, as well as all introductory accounting books, need to be written so that they can be understood by a person that picks up a book on their own could figure out what was going on. It isn't written for the intro student. There has been times that my instructor, whom is a professional in the field of accounting, has not been able to figure out what they were asking for.
