5.0 out of 5 stars Great GAAP Resource, December 3, 2004
By Yoda, C.P.A. (Northbrook, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
As a frequent reader of accounting literature in my daily activities, I have used the Wiley GAAP Guide for several years. The authors have converted complex accounting issues into well written and easy to understand language. It's a valuable resource.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, August 2, 2005
By Elizabeth Sousa (Arlington, MA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
GAAP is very hard to understand if it is not in laymen's terms. This book is great at "translating" the prounouncements. I definitely recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Roadmap, July 9, 2006
By MOISES LOAIZA VALBUENA (Bogota, Colombia) - See all my reviews
I have been working with this Wiley Gaap series by years, it is really easy to understand and gives to you a comprehensive backround to understand most of the common topics.

As an opportunity to improve, would be great if this book in a future, include a practical chapter with examples an study cases of the common practices as tips and falls.

a great complement to this book are the Intermediate Accounting (Kyeso) & Advanced Accounting (Baker)
