Most (though not all) accounting textbooks tend to be dull, verbose, and poorly organized. This phenomenon often makes new students to accounting feel overwhelmed and confused. HAVE NO FEAR! If you are looking for a short, direct, super-clear, quick-and-dirty, no-nonsense 'handbook' to introductory accounting principles, GET THIS BOOK! Use it to supplement your Accounting 101 class. In fact, this little tome is SO good, I actually ended up using it instead of our regular class text (by McQuaig). A+++++++++

This book does not make the subject of accounting interesting. However, it is a good (brief) review guide.

This review is from: Accounting Principles I (Cliffs Quick Review) (Paperback)

I was taking an Accounting 101 course, and found many of the principles and equations being taught in the text to be confusing. If this sounds like you, then get this book. Everything is presented clearly and concisely, and it coincided with each chapter in my text book rather well.

I ended up with a B in the course, and I'm sure it would have been a C (or worse) without this book.

Four stars because there isn't an index, though.
