Financial and Managerial Accounting

Summary: good college textbook, should be cut to 900 pages
Review: Good if you have lots of time to kill, because it has some pages devoted to useless information such as the stupid poem on page 1022 that has nothing to do with accounting. It appears the authors placed lots of "real world" trivia that is boring and useless. Entire page of 964 talks about the reason why Coca-Cola will not do business with Lakers because they signed Pepsi spokeman Shaq O'Neill, it has nothing to do with the subject but the extra pages makes you think you got something for the high priced book. If you absolutely need this book, go borrow it from your public library and save your money.The book manuscript was NEVER approved by a CPA or business owner but a long list of college instructors. It does cover all the basics.

Summary: I have found this book to be a okay for college classes
Review: The book does a alright job of teaching students how to learn accounting. It lacks answers to which could definitly help students. The book's main advantage is that it has many real life examples that help students relate to accounting.

Summary: Well laid out, not a strain to follow or learn from.
Review: This book was real easy to pick up the accounting basics that the authors presented. The text is broken up with graphic presentations and real world examples which makes it easy on the eyes and the brain. At the end of every chapter is illustrative problems, discussion questions, multiple choice, exercises and chapter problems. When you've completed a chapter you really feel you know the material. Plus there are tons of internet stuff. Worth the money and cheaper than the other accounting book I was forced to buy.
