5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book
How much can you expect from an accounting text book? Well, you can hope that it explains things clearly and gives plenty of practice examples. This one does a great job of both. It's is a little difficult to follow at times when going over debits and credits, but the material is pretty obtuse and in the end, I think the book does as good a job as it can--you really...

3.0 out of 5 stars Financial Accounting Ok
This book does an ok job of giving exmaples. However, I found that I did have to refer to websites for additional examples and explanations. The additional websites found on my own were a huge help.

This review is from: Fundamental Accounting Principles (Chapters 1-25) (Hardcover)
I used this book instead of the 17e because of the fact that I am in the class online and needed to have a book that I could take with me and it is very helpful.

How much can you expect from an accounting text book? Well, you can hope that it explains things clearly and gives plenty of practice examples. This one does a great job of both. It's is a little difficult to follow at times when going over debits and credits, but the material is pretty obtuse and in the end, I think the book does as good a job as it can--you really need to have someone to answer questions. Also, this book is part of a complete offering from the publisher, which includes Power Points and a test bank; so, it is designed to be used with these other materials, which do round out the explanations.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT the same as EDITION 19!!, January 21, 2010

This review is from: Fundamental Accounting Principles (Chapters 1-25) (Hardcover)
If you have been told this item is the same as edition 19 and you need ed.19 for class DO NOT BUY THIS ONE. It will fool you. It looks the same, just a dull version of the new book. However, come your first assignment you will have a rude awakening. ALL the numbers in the problems have been changed. Any multiple choice problems, the answer by that letter has been changed. IT ISN'T the same don't waste your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too much writing to use, July 6, 2009
By S. Tomaier (Seattle, Washington United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fundamental Accounting Principles (Chapters 1-25) (Hardcover)
I think this may be a very good book but a previous owner has defaced it so badly that it is almost impossible to use to study. It is distracting and really is worthless at this point in its life. I think I may try to find a new book and call this a lesson learned. Do not trust Amazon Marketplace.
