Of the many many listings for this book, this seems to be the closest to the edition I have read.

While I read this as a requirement for a college course and I would not have otherwise chosen to read it, I did like this text. It was well written and clear, easy to understand the concepts covered, and practical.

The book was perhaps more useful than the accompanying website as a learning tool, but paired with the website's practice exercises I felt provided a great learning resource.

Grateful that this class is over (my last gen-ed before getting my Associate's in Computer Information Systems!), but glad that this book was clear, had great examples, and was well-scaffolded for total beginners to accounting such as myself.

This book helped me through my course, very well explained and even though I had it digitally from school, I still needed to have the physical copy of it.
