 What You Need July 29, 2008
I had two intermediate acc. classes at college that went by this book... one for the first half of the book, one for the second half. For those intimidated by the size, trust me it isn't that bad; probably 2/5 of the 1400 pages are for the after-chapter exercises and problems, which are, needless to say, integral to your understanding of accounting. The fact is, there simply isn't enough room in the text to cover all the situations/complexities (for instance in leases) tested by the problems/exercises, so this book definitely isn't complete without the solution manual. Yes, the chapters do seem looong (35 pg. average if I remember and positively DENSE with material, footnotes and all), but it is well written and a focused effort on your part should get you through each in a reasonable amount of time. They have also made available the updated pension chapter (pre-2008 versions are no longer valid) on their website, and for what most would say is the hardest material in the entire text, I thought they did a very good job (or it could be that the "old" pension accounting presented in my Financial Accounting book was just really confusing).
 I have not received the book June 24, 2008

I have rate wrongly before..I still have not received that book. I just arrive in USA for a short period and I do not have a lot of money. I spend 80 dollars for that book. But he or she did not mail me that book. I really do not know what to do. I am helpless.

I used a previous edition of this book to study for and pass the CPA exam on my first try back when it was a 2 day pencil and paper exam. This book has everything you need and helps to develope an excellent foundation of knowledge that will help any student who goes on to take a masters level advanced financial reporting class. To those who have rated it poorly, I have to admit that once upon a time I did not like the book. However, the problem was me and not the book. As with any book, it is not of value unless the user actualy takes time to thouroughly read each chapter.

 Much better with the Problem Solving "Survival Guide" December 11, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
If you're looking at this book, you're probably using it for a college class or as a reference guide. In either case, the aptly named "Survival Guide" offered by the same author is invaluable. The text is great, but the chapter exercises (and most real world problems) go far beyond the examples given in the book. Consider buying the study guide to go with this one.
I used both for 2 semesters of Intermediate Accounting, and I probably wouldn't have been able to pass the second-level class without the 2nd volume of the study guide. With it, I got the best grade in the class.
Each volume is well worth an extra $50 or so
