I'm rereading my university text books for a future professional exam - so you better believe I'm adding them here to count towards my reading challenge..

This was a nailbiter all the way through. From General Journals to Income Statements and Balance Sheets - I didn't know what was going to happen next. In any case, good book to learn some accounting fundamentals for business and corporations.

2 stars deducted for copious proofreading errors in calculations, dates, and language that significantly hinder usefulness of this text.

[Textbook] I find Libby, Libby, and Short's text dynamic, thorough, and engaging.
The content draws from real-world cases, with every chapter centering on a brand-name company the student recognizes. Small details reveal the depth of thought invested in making the material as compelling as possible: such as using competing companies in the same industry to illustrate key ratio analysis points and choosing language that reminds the reader of the competition...reminding the reader of the market tension.
There must have been an editor reading for story - imagine that in an accounting textbook!
The page layout is interesting and useful with copious explanatory figures, charts, and excerpts along with helpful marginalia. Each chapter ends with a cornucopia of example problems to practice each key element.
While the subject is still dusty-old ACCOUNTING, this textbook opens vistas of accessibility I wouldn't have imagined.

Great paranormal mystery/thriller! Starts off a little slow, but gains speed quickly. Love the unlikely romance between the good girl and "bad" boy.

Helpful and straightforward. The Connect assignments were good.

A serviceable introduction to accounting, but not particularly engaging or stimulating.

Not the most coherent text...but maybe its just accounting that isn't coherent.

For accounting, it was a pretty straightforward textbook.
