Lucid, intersting and easy to follow,
By A Customer
This review is from: Financial Accounting (Hardcover)
I am an engineer running a small company. Last year I bought an accounting package to keep better track of my business. Though the software is great the accompaning manuals are of no use and their concise introduction to accounting did make matters worse.I have been looking at several accounting manuals but could not find one I could just sit down with and read on my own. Well now I have found it. This manual is easy to read, clear and to the point and the real company examples make it interesting. After reading only two chapter I realized that the information that came with the accounting software put me totally on the wrong track. I can recommend this book, manual very highly.

A book that can make even accounting interesting,
By A Customer
This review is from: Financial Accounting (Hardcover)
The book is very well rounded and very helpful in introducing what might have been confusing subjects. Author brings in real life examples and raises questions of ethics in accounting. Graphic design is excellent and makes the book "look" interesting. No effort was spared to make this book graphically appealing. I recommend this book even to the non-accounting/business person. The lessons taught in chapters one thru four are essential for everyone to know in order to make sound economic choices.

Basic Accounting in a Sparkling New Package,
By Michael P. Toothman, PMP - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Financial Accounting (Hardcover)
The authors present the concept that Accounting is inherently interesting, yet the available textbooks are not. With this edition of Financial Accounting, they have done an excellent job of delivering a highly interesting, engaging and relevant text suitable for the serious student or the non-major.The most useful aspect of this book is its ability to assist the reader in "thinking like an accountant". Each chapter, presented in building-block style, teaches you how to view real-world companies from several financial viewpoints. There is an emphasis placed on financial reporting and the analysis of financial statements which are interesting and very relevant to the outside business world. The pace of the text is excellent and the pure accounting topics are interspersed with sidebars concerning ethics and international acccounting issues. Especially appealing was the fact that the subject companies in the text were highly recognizable and the authors included background information about each one. I found this much more effective than presenting the reports of imaginary enterprises. Whether you are an Accounting major or a non-major fulfilling a course requirement, you will find this text to be an interesting read and a valuable reference. Perhaps you will discover like I did, surprisingly, that Accounting IS inherently interesting. 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful:
