Reader Reviews
This book is huge. Nearly 1500 pages of cramped text in small print make it hard to read and handle in the normal day-to-day use for classes. I usually make copies of the individual chapters for studying because of its impossible size. Without any doubt, this book is very comprehensive. It makes a great reference book with its vast coverage of topics and info. However, I am using this book for three accounting classes. I have already used this for one class and I am currently doing the second class. I spent far more time than necessary completing the course requirements because of the very poor application as a text book. Most good accounting books have plenty of examples and also comprehensive problems at the end to clarify the concepts. Not so with this book. Comprehensive problem sets are absent and examples are minimal. Not very good if you try to understand accounting rules and concepts. The publisher's website has powerpoint slides for each chapter. I found those slides more useful and better organized than the textbook itself. I give it 1 star as a text book and 4 stars as a reference book
