5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, but no solutions!, February 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Intermediate Accounting, 9th Edition Update (Hardcover)

This is an excellent book, very well written and comprehensive. However, without an instructor or a complete solutions manual, this book is impossible to use! When are authors and publishers going to learn that a beautifully thoughtout set of exercises is utterly worthless in a quantitative subject like Accounting without the solutions available! I'm presently taking a course from this book, however I would never buy this book for personal use - no answers!

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy it, December 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Intermediate Accounting, 10th Edition (Hardcover)

What a dissappointing, unclear and abstract textbook! The chapters ill-prepare and ill-equip the student to solve any of the exercises. In addition, the book provides no key figures or key points for which a student can guide himself. It seems that the motive is to deliberately confuse the student and obfiscate the topics. In using this textbook, you are guaranteed to need supplemental textbooks, workbooks and study guides in order to get an adequate understanding (and how nice... they offer these items for purchase!). I really question the authors' intent and purpose given their unnecessary obscure approach to the topic. Stay away from this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great accounting text!, October 22, 1997

This review is from: Intermediate Accounting (Hardcover)

As a recent accounting graduate, and current graduate student, I can tell you that this text is one of the best accounting books I ever read. Intermediate Accounting is a tough, voluminous subject, which is why it takes two semesters to get through it! Keiso and Weygandt do a great job of walking students through the specifics of a topic, along with its history, alternatives, and the profession's arguments for and against some of the more controversial ones. The problems and cases following the chapters are extremely challenging and thought-provoking; great supplements to the readings and class lectures. If you are an accounting professor, or an accounting student or professional, this book is a fantastic textbook and excellent resource during your career. I will have it in my cubicle at my firm!
