5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful for college students, December 8, 1997

By A Customer

I am a 24 year old college senior. I have been going to school part time and working since I graduated highschool 6 years ago. Stretching my college career out like I have, makes Accounting 101 seem a million years ago. This book makes me feel more at ease about what I already know. It is a great review and a quick reference book. I'm not as nervous about attending upper level accounting classes with 19 year olds who still have basic accounting fresh in their mind. I use it alot!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars How I found relief from obscure bookkeeping chores, September 18, 2001

By	Parke W. Filley (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I had been looking for help in how to write off depreciation expenses. Simple question but after 40 years away from accounting it became a frustrating experience. I had purchased several other books and found no help. I even went to a college book store but found no real help. By more or less accident I sent for this book. It not only helped with my then current problem but has proved a real help in remembering all those little things from many years ago.
It is Accounting 101 and I am glad that someone has taken the trouble to write on these subjects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get an edge on your classmates!, February 13, 2003

By	Tom T. (No-hannatown, USA) - See all my reviews

This is a great book for anyone interested in getting an edge on their classmates and thoroughly trampling the spirit of Ohana into the mud. It is particularly useful in take home exam situations where the professor has selected a dense and overly complicated text book and then failed to set appropriate expectations as to the nature of the test material. The book is well organized and to the point and will allow you to quickly and efficiently find the answers you are looking for - providing you with a powerful advantage over your classmates who are bogged down in the textbook. Forget teamwork - cast Ohana aside - buy this book today and keep it to yourself! Set the curve - don't be victim of it! (Note: team members may henceforth despise you and shower you in a white hot rain of criticism and hostile accusations which you shrug off but secretly find hurtful)
