Accounting: What the Numbers Mean

Summary: Accounting: What the Numbers Mean, 6th edition
Review: I am having to use this book for an Accounting Grad class and it is perhaps one of the worst txt books I have ever laid my eyes on! Wordy doesn't begin to describe how bad this book is, did this go through an editor or straight to press? It just goes on and on and on throwing in examples that come later in the chapter, the examples are poor never follwing a simple path, and the questions at the end of each section are as bad as the book. This book reminds me of someone who decides to teach you something off of the top of their head, they didn't bother to make any notes or set a goal for how they wanted to approach the subject. Avoid at all costs!!!

Summary: Very confusing text
Review: I found this textbook to be very confusing. It doesn't spend enough time elaborating on each topic before it moves on to the next.

Summary: Not Bad
Review: I had this book for a graduate level introductory accounting course. It wasn't as bad as the previous reviewer commented. However, at places, it does tend to get wordy. Hence, only 4 stars. Overall, it's good.

Summary: Accounting: What the Numbers Mean, 6th edition
Review: I ordered a 6th edition of the book, but was sent the 5th edition, which is useless for my class. The order arrived 2 days before my class starts. I have assignment due the first day of class being a graduate class. I have about 150 pages to read, and a paper to write, and have no time to deal with this mess. Trying to find a contact phone number for Amazon was impossible as well. This was a big shocker and a great disappointment in the whole ordeal of on-line ordering from Amazon and its third party.

Summary: Forced to use...
Review: We were required to use this text book for a graduate level accounting class... it is terrible. It has adopted a process of explaining accounting that is nonsense. It would be better to have the financial statements and have them explained in English than this process.
