With the 14th edition of this book, the use of the website for studying was taken away, to be replaced with a pay for use service of about $20. My professor would have stayed with the 13th edition had he known that they were going to take away this service to the students. No CD or access to a website for answers to the questions. Book is well written, easy to follow, but needs a more comprehensive glossary, since words and phrases within accounting mean different things and can be interpreted differently depending on the user and with accounting following the GAAP rule this becomes even more important. Practice items are well designed. The Layout of the book demands approximately 100 pages a week for a semester course, for a course in oversight of accounting this is rather hefty. Without a CD or other access privileges, I don't see a need to order this as a new item, go for used!

This is supposed to be a BEGINNER'S accounting book, but throughout the book it assumes that the student has information that IS NOT in this book. It made me hate the idea of being an accountant and I have changed majors because of it. DO NOT buy it unless you are willing to spend a lot of time messing with it.
One of the biggest issues about this book is that it uses terminology that is not defined anywhere in the book and then gives you very long examples to teach you what they want you to know. I have a master's degree in education and I have had to rewrite every single chapter in order to get all of the information that my current teachers want me to get from this book.

as good as I imagined, and i wish i could have more chances to purchase textbooks like this~

Fast shipping. Book was in good condition. The highlighted parts of the pages have actually helped me with studying!

I will certainly not be selling this book after i finished my accounting class. It's a great resource that i plan to keep far into my career.

This book was in excellent shape when received from Amazon.com. It contains plenty of exercise problems for easy review of the chapters. I especially enjoy the online learning center that accompanies the reading material. I would definitely reccommend this book to anyone with an interest in learning the basics of accounting information and it's importance in making sound business decisions.

It is good and like new. There is no single mark in it.

I received this book four days after I ordered it. Very fast delivery and in excellent condition. I will definitely purchase again from this seller.

The book I ordered from Amazon was received in plenty of time before the fall semester classes and was in excellent condition. I will definitely order from Amazon in the future.

This book is exactly what I needed. It's nice having both the financial and managerial accounting books in one book.
