Editorial Review:
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 is the only financial accounting text to successfully implement a real-world, single focus company approach in every chapter. Students and instructors have responded very favorably to the use of focus companies and the real-world financial statements. 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.

Rating:  - Financial Accounting in PESOS?
Be very careful of deceptive linking on this product! The record for the hardcover offers a paperback selection. 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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Excellent introductory accounting overview
This 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 ...

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.
Rating:  - required for a class
This was a required reading for accounting 101 class at Wharton Business School. Sometimes the examples and concepts in boxes may distract you from the reading, but in general the fact that it was published this year, makes things in context.
Rating: - Good book for entry level accounting
I used this book in a financial accounting course, and found it to be very useful. The examples make some concepts easier to understand, and the real life examples are good experience for students trying to make the connection between the classroom concepts and the real world. The questions at the end of each chapter are very thorough. My teacher would assign a dozen or so, and it would take a few hours to do them all. They have a good mix of short answer definitions, multiple choice, and general accounting ... Read More
