Accounting for Dummies.......2002-11-26
Too much time is spent on problems that do not require such exposition -- and more complex and real-life problems are avoided. This study guide is not much help.
Garbage!.......2002-11-24
Jan Williams, Dean of the Business School at UTK, is known for neither his creativity or knowledge. This book demonstrates that his reputation is well deserved.
Excelent paperwork material!.......2000-06-22

Book Description
Work more effectively with the
Excel Working Papers CD-ROM! Designed to accompany Kimmel, Weygandt, and Kieso’s Principles of Accounting, the Excel templates on this CD provide a framework that helps students format their accounting solutions properly. These custom forms are available for all relevant end-of-chapter exercises, problems, and cases. The Excel Working Papers provide the option of printing forms and completing them manually, or entering data electronically and then printing out a completed form. By entering data electronically, students can now paste homework to a new file and e-mail the worksheet to their instructor.
This new
Principles of Accounting text helps students navigate their future accounting and business careers with a practical set of accounting tools and the confidence they need to use those tools effectively in making business decisions. The authors have taken a more conceptual and decision-making approach to the material, which many instructors are now bringing into their Accounting courses based on the AECC "white paper" report and other recent market trends (e.g., a reduction in Accounting majors, etc.).
Kimmel, Weygandt, and Kieso motivate students by beginning with the larger picture. Taking a macro-to-micro approach, the discussion starts with real financial statements first, rather than starting with the Accounting Cycle. This innovative approach quickly establishes how a financial statement communicates the financing, investing, and operating activities of a business to users of accounting information. Throughout, the text clearly demonstrates the importance of accounting to society and the relevance of accounting to students’ future careers.

Great service.......2007-05-15
The book was as good as it was described and delivered on time
Excellent Introductory Text.......2006-03-09
I have never written a review on here, but I felt like I should give praise for this book, beacuse I really liked it.
I just finished my second principles of accounting class, and thus completed this text book. I found it to be an excellent learning resource. The book is well written to make the subject entertaining and accessible. There is a wealth of problems after each chapter, and many illustrations to aid in understanding. Even if you get a bad professor, you can easily learn the subject just from this text.
Principles of Accounting, with Annual Report.......2005-09-27
Book used for accounting classes...very complete and thorough. Entertaining and helpful stories and illustrations to help understand concepts.
Best single volume accounting text out there.......2005-08-15
I found this to be the best single volume accounting text to include both financial accounting and managerial accounting topics at a reasonable price.
I use this in my accounting courses. The other reviewers mentioned that the text uses jargon. It does not, though one will need to know or learn standard American business terminology. If you are not interested in American business, you should not be taking an accounting course in the first place. Many of my students are taking this course because it is required. Many of them would be better off in another major, as they have no interest in American business.
Difficult to read.......2005-08-02
This textbook is very difficult to read and comprehend. When I took Principles of Accounting the textbook was very unhelpful and left myself and others looking for alternate resources to understand the basic concepts of accounting. But for those who are in classes that must use this textbook, I recoomend finding the best ways to avoid buying this, such as sharing with two or three friends or buying used.
Book Description
Building on the flexible and balanced approach that has made this text a market leader, the new edition of Financial Accounting provides a strong real-world emphasis, integrates performance measurement, and emphasizes technology. New features motivate critical thinking, analysis, and decision-making.
Financial Accounting remains the most accurate text on the market, with accuracy reviewers checking every line and working through every exercise, problem, and case in the text and supplements.
- New! "Stop and Think" questions for each learning objective motivate students to read actively. These critical-thinking questions—each of which is accompanied by a short answer—can also be used as a review device or as the basis for class discussions.
- New! The Supplement at the end of Chapter 1 now includes Walgreens company financial statements immediately following the most recent Toys 'R' Us Annual Report.
- New! Chapter-ending "Comparison Cases" require students to use the Walgreens and Toys 'R' Us financial statements to review information as a professional analyst would. Students must calculate various ratios and do a comparative analysis of the two companies based on their results.
- New! The popular "Focus on Business" boxes, which relate accounting to the real world of business, have been updated and redesigned, and more than 35 of the features are new to this edition.
- New! Each learning objective includes a list of end-of-chapter "Related Text Assignments" so students can identify the questions, exercises, problems, and cases that are associated with particular learning objectives.
- New! The new edition features three new video cases, bringing the total number of video cases to six. The videos are available on both the Student CD-ROM and the HM ClassPrep CD-ROM for instructors.
- New! The instructors' web site now features a collection of 16 new essays—one for each chapter—that discuss current events and issues. Essay topics include the Enron crisis, the nature and importance of goodwill, and the controversy surrounding accounting for stock options. These essays can be used as exam questions or extra credit assignments. Each essay comes with two sets of questions—one set that students can answer by reading the essay, and a second set that requires students to do additional research. Suggested answers are provided for both sets of questions.
- New! Bridge Tutorial CD-ROM for students emphasizes accounting transactions, provides a review of the debit/credit mechanism, and provides a foundation for the preparation of financial statements. The CD-ROM features 50 pre- and post-test activities on accounting concepts, designed to test students' basic understanding of the accounting cycle.

Great condition with Great price.......2005-09-12
It wouldn't take too long to get this book. And the book was packed in suitable package no any damage. A plus for you :-)
Fin accounting for dummies.......2003-08-06
This is an excellent introductory textbook.
Good Introduction to Accounting.......2002-04-07
I started out with practically no knowledge of accounting - this book did a very impressive job of introducing me to the various concepts. I can now read and understand the financial statements put out by the companies. Our professor used this book very extensively - he would talk about a topic and then point out the page numbers where the authors had written about that topic.
This is a pretty good reference too - I have refered to the book many times when I see certain accounting terms used in the press. The authors have kept the explanation very concise and have inserted examples that capture the essence of the explanation.
I found the book to be very expensive though.
Pretty darn good, but a bit overwhelming for the beginner........2001-08-29
I used this book for my Financial Accounting I course I took this past Spring working towards my Bachelors degree. This was in the first accounting course and I really didn't know too much about accounting beforehand. While the book overall is a good text and full of helpful information and examples, the first chapter or two were totally useless because they approached accounting pragmatically and tried to cover too many fundamentals too soon. Accounting is not an easy subject and theres no easy way to get started with it. However, my professor (who had used the book before) skipped over the first couple chapters and taught us the fundamentals using her own method which did work very well and then the rest of the book made more sense. At times it seems the book might cover a topic or circumstance in only one or two sentences and then will have a problem or two that deal more extensively with that short concept. The only reason I could think they did this was to stimulate creativity and learning and force the student to figure out how to mold the various principles to fit a particular "new" situation rather than just have you memorize some rules. Some might not like this method...
Excellent but not for the beginner.......2001-03-19
I used this Textbook in my MBA Financial Accounting course at DePaul Unversity in Chicago, IL. I had very little knowledge of the topic before I took this class.
This book is well written, well organized, and is not too wordy. Because of the depth of this book and its brevity, every sentence is important and I found I had to reread chapters about three times before I really understood the material.
I did notice a few minor typos in the chapter exercises, but for the most part I found it extremely accurate.
This is a difficult subject and this book covers much material. Each chapter must be read carefully. To fully understand the material, I highly encourage doing the exercises in the back of each chapter. Houghton Mifflin has the answer keys in Excel files on their web site, but you need a password to get it.
I can understand the person who found this book confusing. I don't think this book is great for somebody new to the subject. But after getting your feet wet in the subject, this is an excellent text.
This book will make a wonderful reference for years to come. In fact, my father, a small business owner wants my copy.
