Book Reviews of Essentials of Accounting (9th Edition)
Book Review: Excellent for a self-paced or crash course in introductory accounting
Summary: 5 Stars
Most of the other reviewers who have given this book 5 stars have it right. I first heard of this book by doing a Google search for the syllabi of accounting courses. This book appeared on the syllabus for an introductory acccounting course for the MBA program at Columbia University. I think the description of the course said that its purpose was to teach accounting to students with non-finance backgrounds (paraphrasing). That's what I needed so I became interested in the book. I read the other reviews on Amazon and bought the book. From my experience, the 5-star reviewers turned out to be right.
This book is an introductory level accounting workbook (as opposed to a textbook). It teaches you accounting through exercises like fill-in-the-blanks. That might sound like grammar school, but that's the point. The book's title is exactly what you will get, the essentials of accounting, without all of the minutiae that make other books hundreds of pages long. And you will be prepared enough to follow along during the first few weeks of an introductory MBA course.
Nevertheless, if you already understand accounting and want to get into financial analysis (ie, valuation, forecasting, etc...), you're going to need a completely different book. I used two when I first started out: 1- Analysis for Financial Managment by Robert Higgins and 2- Finance for Managers by the Harvard Business Press.

This design was conceived as a way to allow the answer column to always appear in th right margin. The book is completed front to back, then inverted and completed back to frontAccounting Books
