 NOT easy to use October 9, 2008
Got this book for my intermediate accounting 1 class. VERY hard to follow. Some homework questions are not even discussed within the chapters! Some are phrased in a way that you have to dig for the answer because it doesn't match how it was explained in the text (ie you're looking for potato and the text refers to spud - same thing but you have to really *look* for it). Mix with a professor who doesn't explain things well and you'll struggle a bit. Plan on reading each chapter twice to fully comprehend.
Side note: book is INSANELY heavy. If you plan on keeping the book and are going to use it again for other classes, it's WELL worth spending $10 at a kinko's to have them cut the binding off and three hole punch the text to carry just what you need for the semester with you. This book will cause serious shoulder/neck/back problems if you try to carry it around along iwth everything else. Just note the pages are kind of thin so you need to handle with care.
 don't buy from this seller!!!!! September 30, 2008
My book has never came after I made payment. The seller indicated that the payment was received. However, I waited a month and book has never came. I sent quite a few emails to this seller regarding my book, I only got one reply which was at very beginning saying that "book was sent right after the payment was received". And, I never see my book. After I check recent reviews of this person on website again and I found there are quite a few persons have the same experience. I want my money back (even though I doubt it)!!
Don't buy anything from this seller!!!
Overall helpful September 28, 2008
I'm using this book for my intermediate accounting class this fall. It's straightforward in the overall layout although certain aspects of particular chapters aren't covered until later (example: chapter 3 material requires look-aheads to chapter 8).
I was pleased by the speed of arrival and the price compared to the local campus bookstore.

This book was in perfect condition when I received it and it arrived in a very timely manner. Very good quality for the price I paid.
Very Pleased September 23, 2008
I got exactly what was described to me in the condition I was told it would be. It took a while to arrive, but still within the reasonable time period given at the time of purchase. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
