5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent text to ease you into accounting, November 7, 1998

By	"vmvlkc" (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews

Accounting is the type of subject that can ramp up quickly in difficulty, and this text plots a nearly perfect learning curve in getting the reader well-grounded in the fundamentals. I purchased this text as a requirement for a course, but it is a definite keeper and I would recommend it without hesitation to anyone interested in learning about accounting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Financial accounting, August 30, 1998

By A Customer

As a first year accounting student this text provided to be very useful in all aspects of my course. Although textbooks are required so this review won't move anyone to buy it, students can be assured this text is not a wasted purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good resource, October 6, 2005

By	Barry Kearney - See all my reviews

This review is from: Introduction to Financial Accounting (Charles T Horngren Series in Accounting) (Hardcover)

I'm CEO of a medium size business and wanted a resource to teach me accounting. This is a great book, with plenty of assignments which fully reinforce the lessons. The only disappointment is that there are no solutions and the publisher only gives them to you if you are a registered teacher.
