How much can you expect from an accounting text book? Well, you can hope that it explains things clearly and gives plenty of practice examples. This one does a great job of both. It's is a little difficult to follow at times when going over debits and credits, but the material is pretty obtuse and in the end, I think the book does as good a job as it can--you really need to have someone to answer questions. Also, this book is part of a complete offering from the publisher, which includes Power Points and a test bank; so, it is designed to be used with these other materials, which do round out the explanations.

I used this book instead of the 17e because of the fact that I am in the class online and needed to have a book that I could take with me and it is very helpful.

Good textbook. Great coverage and exhibits to assist in learning. Easy to read and follow the step by step process.

This book does an ok job of giving exmaples. However, I found that I did have to refer to websites for additional examples and explanations. The additional websites found on my own were a huge help.

wanted the book in the picture. got a different one. same subject just different edition.

wow - thanks to this book I now know that I do not want to be an accountant.

what a relief now I can cross that off my list of things to do in life.

If you have been told this item is the same as edition 19 and you need ed.19 for class DO NOT BUY THIS ONE. It will fool you. It looks the same, just a dull version of the new book. However, come your first assignment you will have a rude awakening. ALL the numbers in the problems have been changed. Any multiple choice problems, the answer by that letter has been changed. IT ISN'T the same don't waste your money.

I think this may be a very good book but a previous owner has defaced it so badly that it is almost impossible to use to study. It is distracting and really is worthless at this point in its life. I think I may try to find a new book and call this a lesson learned. Do not trust Amazon Marketplace.
