Great Book

This book is excellent. It really accomplishes its learning objectives. Great demonstration problems. Overall a better book than many of the new books out there.

Excellent introduction to accounting.

I speak from my own experience with the 3rd edition of Accounting Principles: this text comes from masters of teaching. Rather than begin with definitions, the authors first submerse you into the course of thought by describing a business problem, then deploy accounting concepts designed to solve it. They grudge no efforts making sure that you understand them correctly-and you do, because the partition between the teacher and the student is removed. Highly recommended.
