Great for beginniers - By: Laura Ashley, 21 Nov 2008 
Definitely recommend buying this book. I bought it recently for my Business course because my Accounting teacher recommend that we all buy it & she was RIGHT! Very straight forward, & easy to follow especially for someone who doesn't really know accounting very well but want to read a book that wouldnt give you strong accounting words.
A MUST for Business student who are doing Accountings as one of thier modules.
Great for a new accounting student. - By: Abilene, 08 May 2007 
I purchased this book on the recommendation of a co-worker (fully qualified accountant) who used the third edition while at uni. She was spot on when she told me that it is a great help to those students who come from a non-accounting background. (i.e. no A levelsin accounting).
The layout is easy to follow, great self tests along the way, case studies, real world relevent news articles & even an online site with further tests.
Brilliant from a Student at University - By: , 13 Feb 2004 
This book is easy to read yet engages the readerin financial accounting. This provides all essential information without overload & gives a firm understanding & grasp of all concepts. the book is colourful & easy to read.
simple, but often insufficient - By: , 30 Apr 2003 
The book has been chosen to be our coursebook & was a great help when I did the very basics of accounting. When it came to the second year however, the number of examples was insufficient to help students understand the topics. The explanations are good but sometimes too long. It's a good book to use as a core text but not enough to understand topics well.
