Let down by layout This is a good book to practice with but there are a few problems. My biggest gripe is that the author sets a question with 'Refer back to..'. It is not always clear what the author means, is it refer back to the original numbers used or are we just using that as a reference plate. Also some answers are not explained. It is no good having a solution if you are having problems. I feel the book is condensed to save money-often a problem with this series. For a workbook you need space to work, it is annoying when you have to scribble numbers down on a seperate sheet of paper. Also you need to buy and understand 'Accounting For Dummies' before you should attempt this. Personally, there is a much better book Eisen 'Accounting-The Easy Way'. That book is much broader with better explanations and problems.
Great Intro to Accounting Since I did not major in accounting in undergrad I purchased this book to help me get a general understanding of how the process works. I found the chapters on the Income Statement and Balance Sheet most useful. The author walks you through the process explaining the difference between all the different categories. I also purchased Accounting For Dummies (Accounting for Dummies), but I found this workbook to be sufficient for what I needed. Highly Recommended!
VERY PLEASED I just want to say thank you for the work book. I was surprised at how fast I received this item. If I can remember right I received this item with in 5 days. It is very helpful and informitive. I took Accounting in college and had forgotten alot of things but this book has helped me to remember the things that I had forgotten.
