5.0 out of 5 stars Fundamental Accounting Principles, December 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Fundamental Accounting Principles (Hardcover)

This text was VERY helpful. The illustrations and examples were enough to explain the topic without havung to read the entire book.. Also the problems given at the end of each section were very good. Some were tough; however, the author starts you out with easy problems and works up to the more difficult ones. This text definitely is a good learning aid.

This review is from: Fundamental Accounting Principles, Ch. 1-26 (Hardcover)

This is an excellent textbook all the way around. The text is written in plain English and explains every concept in detail. The examples create real life examples that reinforce the concepts. The chapter problems are written well, easy to understand, and provide a great way for students to practice all of the concepts. For an added bonus, the website that goes with this book provides even more tools for learning such as chapter exercises, working papers, and flashcards.

An all around great textbook!
