an added value to my education / / 2008-10-05
This book is a added value to the course intermediate to accounting. It is a good tool in preparation of the terms. All chapters are clearly defined and in a good order.

Expensive. Necesary. / / 2008-09-03
This book is necesary, although it is expensive. You will receive an overview of more accounting principles you ever thought could be fit in one book. Good luck remenbering all of them. Systematic and Rational...

What You Need / / 2008-07-29
I had two intermediate acc. classes at college that went by this book... one for the first half of the book, one for the second half. For those intimidated by the size, trust me it isn't that bad; probably 2/5 of the 1400 pages are for the after-chapter exercises and problems, which are, needless to say, integral to your understanding of accounting. The fact is, there simply isn't enough room in the text to cover all the situations/complexities (for instance in leases) tested by the problems/exercises, so this book definitely isn't complete without the solution manual. Yes, the chapters do seem looong (35 pg. average if I remember and positively DENSE with material, footnotes and all), but it is well written and a focused effort on your part should get you through each in a reasonable amount of time. They have also made available the updated pension chapter (pre-2008 versions are no longer valid) on their website, and for what most would say is the hardest material in the entire text, I thought they did a very good job (or it could be that the "old" pension accounting presented in my Financial Accounting book was just really confusing).

I have not received the book / / 2008-06-24
I have rate wrongly before..I still have not received that book. I just arrive in USA for a short period and I do not have a lot of money. I spend 80 dollars for that book. But he or she did not mail me that book. I really do not know what to do. I am helpless.
