Book Description

October 2, 2008 047031754X 978-0470317549 9
Weygandt Accounting Principles starts with what students know. In the new Ninth Edition, students clearly see the relevance of accounting in their everyday lives and are therefore motivated to do the work assigned.

Weygandt Accounting Principles introduces challenging accounting concepts with examples that are familiar to the student. This connection to their everyday lives helps build student motivation, a key driver of student time spent on assignments and ultimately their mastery of the concept.

4.0 out of 5 stars Expensive at the college bookstore, December 23, 2009
This review is from: Accounting Principles (Hardcover)
I paid $240 for this set at my college book store (came with the book & the workbook, as well as the wiley plus registration)

I don't know about the other reviewers, but my main book came all in loose leaf pages that you add to a binder. I understand why they did this, because this book is used for ACC 101 & ACC 102, (so it's really $120 per semester kinda) and this way you are able to divide the book in half basically and only take what you need for the semester (or even just the single chapter if you don't want to carry as much).I was disappointed though because they did not provide a binder to put the pages in, and on top of that, when I put them in a binder I had purchased myself, the pages ripped so easily! I mean just turning a page- the holes would rip. Do you know how many reinforcements I would have to go through to fix every page that ripped? It makes it almost impossible to trade the book back in (not that I'd want to, because it's very in depth and useful.. but just saying). This is because the pages are SO thin. I just don't understand how textbooks can be so expensive, yet so poorly made.

1.0 out of 5 stars Never buy the kindle version!, September 18, 2009
I use this textbook in my accounting class. I have a hard copy provided by the publishing company in office. Because it is too bulky and heavy to carry, I have bought a kindle version to read it at home.

Unfortunatly, the kindle version is completely useless. The hard copy includes a lot of pictures and tables to present journal entries and financial statements. However, all those illustrations do not appear in the kindle version. The kindle version shows only texts and the titles of illustrations. It is obvious that amazon.com and the publishing company have never compared the kindle version to the hard copy.

All the positive reviews presented above are based on a hard copy version. Never buy the kindle version!

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice but NO answers to the questions in the book?!, August 30, 2009
This review is from: Accounting Principles (Hardcover)
It's a very comprehensive, but its disappointing they don't provide the answers to the questions in this book. It would be helpful for all the tedious assignments in it that the professors ask us to complete.

I did manage to get a hold of the solutions manual though. If you need them, you can write me a mail at avantika_sil at yahoo dot com.
