Format:Paperback
The Book was an American version, how utterly ridiculous, this is a book about accounting, obviously you need all the figures that relate to your own country's tax system. There was no indication of this fact, posted from the UK, from a UK seller, what an utter waste of my time and money! I will never buy anything like this through amazon again as clearly you cannot trust them to list something clearly.

Format:Paperback
The content is simple with material presented in the usual 'dummie' tradition. It works great as a quick way to understand hard concepts, without going into too much distracting detail. A good reference for people who interface with accountants or accounting departments, but accounting students will find that the material is not detailed enough for cases covered in a typical accounting course. Is it the 'feel good accounting book of the year?' I dunno...but like any other dummies book, buy it for the funny cartoons.
Format:Audio CD
this is an american accounting CD, but is specific to the uk... good but discription should have stated the country for why it was for..... as a basic review would recommend.

too general
Bought this book in order to help my studying but found it rather useless. I think the book is too general and gives you just a very broad idea of how things done in business. Read more

Repititive but on the whole - okay
The book repeats itself a lot as the author tries to make the chapters stand alone.
A bit irritating for me as I went from page one to the last. Read more

Good book, but it was hard to understand.
I found it very difficult to understand as I am an idiot, but the different colored grey boxes displaying "Quick information" led me away from the body of the text and... Read more
