A teaching aid ONLY for the authors of the book
This book does not create a bridge between the chapter material and the problems/case studies at the end of the book. Very tough to learn the concepts in the book using the end of chapter material. No answers to questions, so no way to tell what the correct answer actually is. A good teaching aid for the authors of the book, but I do not recommend this for students or professors outside of the author's circles.
Vacuous
The text is incomplete and irrelevant. Often, an explanation of a concept is begun but it ends suddenly without the actual connection to its accounting treatment. Take "Precollected Revenues on page 54; pages 58-60: show (visual) the account entry along with the description. Learners need to see these accounting entries. It would help to add a few worked examples and model answers for the case studies set out at the end of chapters if this text is intended to be used as a teaching text or we will no longer use it.
Insightful Case Studies
I can see the point of several previous reviewers that certain additional details flesh out end of chapter case studies. However, I found the writing fresh, insightful, and pointed. Multiple end of chapter resources further illuminated chapter material in detail. In conjunction with a thorough professor, this book is an excellent tool for understanding accounting material.
