5.0 out of 5 stars Use for MBA, December 5, 1999

By 

Wolf. "Right Here and Now" (Connecticut USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Financial Accounting (Charles T. Horngren Series in Accounting) (Hardcover)

This book was a requirement for the Financial Accounting class in my MBA course. I was put off by the price but found it is worth every penny. The overall layout is very logical, each chapter has numerous 'real world' examples and ends with more sample problems than you could ever hope to solve. 'Check Figure' partial solutions are provided in one of several useful appendices.

I started out knowing absolutely nothing about accounting, now I have a firm foundation thanks more to this excellent book than my professor ...

I will never sell this book

By A Customer

This review is from: Financial Accounting (Charles T. Horngren Series in Accounting) (Hardcover)

I used the book for a review course covering Prin. I & II. It includes excellent graphics and illustrations. Basic accounting topics are discussed and illustrated clearly. Mid and end chapter problems were great reviews. I highly recommend this book as an introduction to basic accounting concepts.
