4.0 out of 5 stars Good book to learn the fundamental principles of accounting., August 23, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Accounting (Prentice Hall Series in Accounting) (Hardcover)

This book helped me get a good start in my Accounting college courses. It lays out the fundamental principles of Accounting simply and clearly. Its emphasis on the process leading to, creation of, and analysis of financial statements, would be very helpful to anyone who may need to understand just what a company's financial statements really mean

2.0 out of 5 stars MyAccountingLab NOT included, September 5, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Accounting, Chapters 1-15 (Financial chapters) (9th Edition) (Paperback)

This textbook does NOT include a MyAccountingLab access code. If you're looking to get the textbook as well as the access code, you're better off buying from your college bookstore as they will have both bundled together ($117) at my college bookstore). You'd think you'd get both the book and the access considering the price at Amazon but no; this important bit of information is buried in the product description.

MyAccountingLab's customer service (Ben) is is useless in providing you an access code for free even though you've purchased the book.

You can purchase a digital copy of the book from MyAccountingLab for $100 but printing any portions of it will include a big watermark across each page as well as a footer with copyright data including your e-mail address. On the plus side, the price includes the access code. It's not a very big plus though as you can't sell your book back.

Be careful if buying a used book from e-bay or other third party that supposedly includes the access code. Access codes have an expiration date; once used, it cannot be used again.

Bottom line: Buy the textbook and access code from your college bookstore. Only college bookstores carry this textbook and access code bundle for about $117. No other third party book seller does.

Eater of Books (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Accounting (7th Edition) (Hardcover)

This book has everything you need to know laid out step-by-step and eminently readable. It is the gold standard of accounting books for begining accounting students. What can I say but "buy it"! You will thank yourself for it.
