2.0 out of 5 stars Not written in a reader-friendly way, March 19, 2000

This review is from: Intermediate Accounting (Hardcover)

The author knows a lot about the accounting principles mentioned in the book, but he has forgotton that he is writing a textbook, not a novel. He has written too much and has failed to make good use of diagrams or tables to illustrate some concepts which are too difficult to grasp when expressed only in words.

4.0 out of 5 stars An insight into Accounting pratices, January 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Intermediate Accounting (Hardcover)

This book is a learning book for accounting principles but it isn't for the novice student. This book looks at the settings for reports that all accountants need to learn and looks at them closely. In going through this book you see the various items that need to be reported in financial statements, how certain calculations are made in the accounting principles and provides a good base for any accounting student.
