Assigned by a professor who had worked with the authors. The most recent version is better than the one we started with (had to switch halfway through because professor decided to change after class started.) But this book is not clear in many things. Illustrations don't match what the text is saying so they are either misplaced or inappropriate. I would like to have seen a plain chart somewhere in the not-for-profit section that compared all 3 styles side by side, with changes in account names, specific names for forms required, limits on accounting methods, etc. Instead you have to wade through chapters of vague information to pull out the information. As a textbook is was bad. As a reference book - it would be worse than useless.
This book is extremely difficult to follow. Examples are not explained and there are a few that are incorrect which makes the book even more confusing. It does not give clear explanations of things which makes it almost impossible to use for online education. I would not recommend any instructor using this book especially online instructors.
This book was terrible. Mistakes throughout and the practice questions either didn't make sense or the multiple choice answers were not clear. Not like it matters. If you have to get the book because a professor requires it, you have to get the book (even if it sucks).
This text book was required for my college course. While the material is complicated, the authors did a fairly well job of putting it together. Sometimes I get lost in the numerous details and lose sight of the big picture of each chapter. I appreciate the tables and charts in each chapter.
This book is unclear and tough to follow. The material is boring enough, but the format of this book makes it even worse. Sorry if you're required to buy it.
It was the book I needed for my class. However, the book itself has some "wrong" answers at the end of the chapter questions. The professor has had to change a few and/or give credit because some had no right answer.
One of the worst textbooks I've ever read. Hard to get a clear understanding of the topic. Do not recommend and hope instructors do not require this book.
