Editorial Reviews

Review

"I like the chapters included and how they are organized for a typical 15-week course. The organization suits how I teach my course. Students find the text easy to read. Students like the additional features such as Data Mining and Business Context."

"The sidebars were interesting and applicable. The end of chapter questions, exercises, and problems provide good coverage of the material and sufficient variation. I also liked the sequencing of the chapters." --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well presented, but you need the study guide., October 24, 1999

By	Andy Packard "Andy" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Financial Accounting: Concepts and Applications (Hardcover)

This book, actually two sold as one, has a ton of exercises, with NO useful answers--as though a ploy to force you to buy the study guide. On retrospect: buy the study guide if you hope to actually DO any exercises as part of your learning. (Note to autors: break this into the TWO books you know it is, and add the answers to the odd-numbered questions, eh?)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, May 5, 2007

By	A. Brown "D" (Provo UT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Accounting: Concepts and Applications (Concepts & Applications) (Hardcover)

This is the best introductory accounting book I've ever seen. I've been fortunate to attend the university where the authors teach, and have studied accounting under both Stice and Swain. The book is very clear, without the instructor's explanation (and the instructors are funny as heck and absolutely know the material) and I recommend it to anyone.

This review is from: Financial Accounting: Reporting and Analysis (Hardcover)

This is the textbook we were given for our Financial Accounting class in our MBA. So far, it's proven to be an excellent complement to the lectures, and even as a stand alone book, it contains enough information to guide you through the initial steps of financial statement generation and analysis. It definitely is very pricey, but it is a very good book. ...
