This was the recommended text for the first year Accounting course in my MBA program. The concepts are clearly explained and wonderfully illustrated. Someone who's never had any exposure to accounting studies would find this to be a very helpful text.
The online material is also good. But you've to pay $15 to get access to accounting tutor on the McGrawHill site. Couldn't this be complimentary for a text that costs nearly $150?

I love this book for financial accounting because it walks through each step very slowly. For people like me where accounting is harder for them than learning another language, I would recommend that you buy this book. It has a very helpful online website with not only quizzes and flash cards but its very own recorded lecture with pp slides! They also offer a connection to your ipod that allows you to listen to the chapter lectures as you go..! Now who needs an instructor still...? ;)

required for class. was a very good book and uses real life examples. comes with a practice set of accounting numbers.

this book makes dry information tolerable. it offers you many tools that aid in all different areas to do well in a basic financial accounting course. the explanations and examples it provides are thorough, and the open ended problems & questions they provide for each chapter are goal-driven and really aid in understanding the often difficult material.

The thing that makes this book good is the same thing that this book is based on, Actual Case based study. The Authors thought that students would be benefited by a text that uses real life company data and explains concepts related to accounting on that. To follow a story line and explain things on the way. That is exactly how people experience work in the real world and exactly the way in which that experience lasts forever in the form of knowledge. The authors capitalize on that idea and write a book that actually induces one to learn concepts and understand the fine print, rather than robotic spoon feeding of information as in many other books. That is the reason I like this book and I'm learning quite a lot. Thanks..

THE BOOK IS COOL. THE ONLY REASON I BOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE I AM TAKING A CLASS ON ACCOUNTING. IT DOES HELP A LOT AND THE READING IS SIMPLE. SO BUY IT IF U LIKE ACCOUNTING!

The item came in a reasonable amount of time. The included report was too outdated for what my class required but the book was in good condition

Book arrived on time and in good shape. I would use this vendor again. The price was very good too.

I used this Financial Accounting text in my MBA Course ACCT 6218 at Northeastern University's Graduate School of Business, in Boston, MA right down the street from Harvard University and MIT :-). This Financial Accounting textbook is one of the best textbooks on Financial Accounting I have ever read. The authors of this book need to team up again and write a text on Managerial Accounting. The concepts were clear concise, and very understandable using rational examples. This is the only textbook in Finance & Accounting I have not seen any non-sensical rambling and chatter, the authors are clear and to the point with step by step examples to clearly see how the theory is applied. If you read the text and can complete the self check quizzes at the end of each section, then you have clearly mastered the material. I would recommend this book again to anyone wanting to get a good understand of financial accounting, and basic accounting concepts, before moving on to advanced accounting, and finance courses. Thanks!

The item I ordered arrived in a shorter time frame then I expected and in good condition with some minor damage to the box. The contents were intact and I would order from this individual again
