Only the clinically insane can enjoy reading an accounting textbook.

[Vince · Rating 3 out of 5]

[Textbook] In many ways the twin to McGraw-Hill's Financial Accounting (Libby, Libby, and Short). This is the text for the 2nd half of my first MBA Accounting course.

Not as good as Libby, Libby, and Short. While this book continues the user-friendly, practical applications-focus of the other volume, many of the companies in this book are make-believe constructs, and the book continually draws your attention to this - undermining the engagement it's trying to build by covering interesting real-world situations. Also, the book focuses almost entirely on cost-computations in a manufacturing environment. Similar treatment of cost-modeling in service industry companies would have been more useful to me.

Not a bad book.

I wasn't at all exactly sure what managerial accounting was entering this class. I now have a much clearer understanding and actually enjoyed learning the material.
