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.

5.0 out of 5 stars My first accounting book, February 15, 2005

By	N. Plank - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used this textbook for my first accounting class and it was by far the best. Examples are all spelled out step by step and the numerous exercies and problems contribute to a higher level of understanding. Buy the workbook offered. It will save you a lot of time normally spent setting up the problem. Much better then some of the higher level books I have used.
