3.0 out of 5 stars Accounting: Text and Cases, November 26, 1999

By

This review is from: Accounting:Text and Cases (Hardcover)

Generally a great text BUT some concepts are glossed over a bit quickly, e.g. Bonds, Adjusting entries. The problems at the end of the chapters are appropriately challenging but there are no answers. You gotta have answers somewhere, perhaps a web site. The print is too light and difficult to read with overhead lights.

2.0 out of 5 stars This one will make you pull your hair out!, June 4, 2002

This review is from: Accounting:Text and Cases (Hardcover)

Unless you go to Haaaaarvaaard (I always forget how many A's to put), you are probably going to be a bit perplexed by the content of this book.

The cases go WAY beyond what is covered in the Chapters, and its up to the instructor to try to fill in the gaps (hopefully your instructor realizes this).

I have found myself referring to my textbook from my intro accounting course more often than this book itself in order to grasp the concepts at hand. Seriously, this book is a punishment to anyone who has to buy it for school. And its FREAKIN heavy to haul around across campus.

'Nough said.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too Lenghty, December 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Accounting:Text and Cases (Hardcover)

If you are looking for an introductory accounting book, this is not the one you want to buy. I am attending an accounting pre-course for an MBA and this is my official text-book. It's very lenghty and it makes concepts hard to understand. Sometimes you just wish the book would tell you what you need in plain english. In addition, there are no solution to the problems proposed at the end of each chapter. If you are getting them wrong, you wouldn't even know!
