Product Description
Product Description
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.

 Excellent book February 27, 2009

I love this book for financial accounting because it walks through each step very slowly. For people like me where accounting is harder for them than learning another language, I would recommend that you buy this book. It has a very helpful online website with not only quizzes and flash cards but its very own recorded lecture with pp slides! They also offer a connection to your ipod that allows you to listen to the chapter lectures as you go..! Now who needs an instructor still...? ;)
Wonderful introductory text to Financial Accounting May 18, 2009

This was the recommended text for the first year Accounting course in my MBA program. The concepts are clearly explained and wonderfully illustrated. Someone who's never had any exposure to accounting studies would find this to be a very helpful text.
The online material is also good. But you've to pay $15 to get access to accounting tutor on the McGrawHill site. Couldn't this be complimentary for a text that costs nearly $150?
great book. December 10, 2008

this book makes dry information tolerable. it offers you many tools that aid in all different areas to do well in a basic financial accounting course. the explanations and examples it provides are thorough, and the open ended problems & questions they provide for each chapter are goal-driven and really aid in understanding the often difficult material.

Great Book March 5, 2010

The thing that makes this book good is the same thing that this book is based on, Actual Case based study. The Authors thought that students would be benefited by a text that uses real life company data and explains concepts related to accounting on that. To follow a story line and explain things on the way. That is exactly how people experience work in the real world and exactly the way in which that experience lasts forever in the form of knowledge. The authors capitalize on that idea and write a book that actually induces one to learn concepts and understand the fine print, rather than robotic spoon feeding of information as in many other books. That is the reason I like this book and I'm learning quite a lot. Thanks..
