Binding: PaperbackEAN: 9780071107747 Edition: 5th ISBN: 0071107746 Label: McGraw Hill Higher Education Manufacturer: McGraw Hill Higher Education Publication Date: May 01, 2006 Publisher: McGraw Hill Higher Education Studio: McGraw Hill Higher Education Editorial Review: Product Description: Libby/Libby/Short wrote this text based on their belief that the subject of financial accounting is inherently interesting, but financial accounting textbooks are often not. They believe most financial accounting textbooks fail to demonstrate that accounting is an exciting field of study and one that is important to future careers in business. When writing this text, they considered career relevance as their guide when selecting material, and the need to engage the student as their guide to style, pedagogy, and design. Libby/Libby/Short's is the only financial accounting text to successfully implement a real-world, single focus company approach in every chapter. The companies chosen are engaging and the decision-making focus shows the relevance of financial accounting regardless of whether or not the student has chosen to major in accounting. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great for self learners and moreThis book is very easy to understand and simply reading and doing half the practice problems will give you a great understanding of the subject (assuming you have correct answers to check yourself with). This is not like some math book where you will get confused in the first chapter, 90% of the explanations make sense. The book I ordered did not come with an online code so I could only access a few of the online questions (and some of the multiple choice answers were wrong). The authors ...

After waiting over a week and a half for "Express" delivery while classes are going by, it turns out the paperback is the INTERNATIONAL EDITION . . . in PESOS, et al, rather than DOLLARS. It's one thing to link to a different binding, but linking to a book with different content is an error on Amazon's part. Not only do we not have a usable book but I'm faced with making some sort ... Read More Rating: - Excellent introductory accounting overviewThis textbook was used in my introductory financial accounting course at the University of Florida, and I am planning on repurchasing it in the next few months as part of a comprehensive accounting review before starting an internship with a large professional services/accountancy firm. For a textbook, it is remarkably well-written and concise (and dare I say it...for people who enjoy accounting, enjoyable!); the real-world cases and international examples (i.e., international harmonization of standards ... Read More Rating: - DO NOT ORDER THIS BOOK IN NORTH AMERICA!!!!!This book is improperly labeled by Amazon. It is not usable in any North American colleges. Very curious that the yellow starburst label on the picture is conveniently blurred. This is where the warning is clearly visible when you open the package. Rating: - Great way to start accounting.It is really a great book in all respects. The chapters are well organized and online material along with book is great way to learn and grasp accounting concepts. The exercises are very good and some answers are provided on line and I think is good enough to verify the answers. I love the book and is fun to read. |
