No Code Included With Purchse Of "New" Text From Amazon,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Financial Accounting: Tools for Business Decision Making (Hardcover)
Potential Buyers,
If you are a student who is taking an accounting course and your instructor requires you to use the accompanying Wiley Plus website, do not expect to get a Wiley Plus, registration code with this product. I purchased the text "new" directly from Amazon for an accounting class I am taking and I assumed that I would recieve the registration code I needed; I assumed wrong as there was no registration code included with my book. If you do need the code for class and you do choose to buy this book from Amazon, you'll be best off buying the cheapest, used edition and going to the Wiley Plus site directly to get a standard registration code for around $60 dollars. Of Course keep in mind shipping costs may eat up any savings you'd get buying from Amazon in the first place! The 1 star review actually reflects my dissatisfaction with the description of this product on Amazon's site, and not the quality of the text. Happy Shopping!

Why make a busy topic busier?,
By GCat002 (Missouri) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Financial Accounting, Tools For Business Decision Making (Hardcover)
We used this book in my accounting class. The coverage jumped around a too much for my taste. Also, not having an accounting background, the constant language changes (with no cross references and very superficial glossary), especially between the chapter text and the exercises made the endeavor excruciating. The worst part was not being able to check answers. The answer key should come with the book. Not having an answer key invalidates this books use as a learning tool even if it were better written.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Beginners manual,

This review is from: Financial Accounting: Tools for Business Decision Making (Hardcover)
If you are new to accounting then this book should definitely be on your list. Explaining step by step how to record basic journal entries and how these entries relate to the various financial statements (Income Statement, Cash-Flows...), in a clear and well organized fashion. The only reason I am unwilling to rate this book five stars is due to the price; as most people will be using this book as an introduction to financial accounting it does seem a little expensive. It is also worth noting the problems and examples used throughout the book are of excellent quality, especially the financial statements provided in appendix A and B. If you have previous experience within the accounting field I would probably recommend a book at a higher level but beginners could do no better.
