Avis sur le produitIntermediate Accounting by Terry D. Warfield, Donald E. Kieso and Jerry J. Weygandt (2009, Hardcover)

The Edition was Earlier Than What I Searched For

The book was in good condition but I was misled into purchasing this product. The search feature on the website led me to this book but it was actually an earlier edition. By the time I clicked purchase, it was too late when I noticed that I ordered an earlier edition. It was not the end of the world, the version was pretty similar but some of the problems in the back were different. As I searched more on half.com for more books. I noticed this same "bait and switch" approach. I would search for one book but get another very similar text book in the search results. I'm not trying to blame half.com because I was the one who pulled the trigger and made the purchase but I don't know if I will be using this service again. I don't want to spend a lot of time trying to make sure that I'm purchasing what I expect to purchase. The fact that the search engine provides results for text books that are not exactly what I'm looking for was frustrating and borderlines on deceptive.Lire l'avis complet...

Not the best book. Lot of examples at back of chapter: practice.

Product provides a question format in the text that does not lead to ultimate conclusions. It leaves a lot of debate that is currently underway in the world of accounting. The problem, though, is that Intermediate accounting is a subject that expands upon the initial accounting cycle - students are trying to just keep pace with the bulk information being chucked their way, let alone being riddled and confused with the complex nature of the politicking done by the AICPA,SEC, and groups.

In all, it provided basic "textbook" examples. However, some of the examples in the book do not give exact reasoning - it assumes the student has already taken course series on bonds, stocks, etc. Come prepared if your teacher provides this book.

With more than one circumstance I had to resort back to my introductory accounting text to find out what was actually being asked.Lire l'avis complet...

Great Value

I bought this book because the actual textbook costs $200 or more, and this is a PDF version for only $25. I love the price, obviously, especially since I am a college student covering all of my own expenses (no loans, grants, etc.). Books are usually so expensive so this was a nice find. The only thing I don't like about it is that, when reading the book, I have to read it on the computer (unless I print out pages). I knew I would have to, and it is a trade off of price. Also, I don't know if there IS a glossary in the book, but there isn't one included with this which is a little frustrating. I use glossaries a lot! All in all, I definitely recommend this if you are looking to save a LOT of money!Lire l'avis complet...

Very helpful book.

This book is very helpful for any accounting student and gives a very good array of examples that help illustrate ideas to students. The book also has a large amount of problems and questions that can help re-enforce material and can help you figure out what you may have a problem with. My professor only works with this book, and for a good reason: it's the best book for accounting students.Lire l'avis complet...

Intermediate Accounting

Intermediate Accounting is very expensive that costs about $160.00 for used edition ($200 above for new one). The book weighs more than 6 pounds (1,440 pages). That is very heavy book to bring to anywhere. But this book includes many detail accounting information, most students and employed accountants can find the basic knowledge from their reading. Good luck! Have a nice accounting experience!Lire l'avis complet...

Intermediate Accounting

One of the best accounting books in the world, if not the best. Great real world examples for most everything concept. Everything is explained clearly and relatively easy to comprehend. However this is a medium level financial accounting book with many advanced topics and concepts. The book assumes that the basic concepts are well understood and remembered.Lire l'avis complet...

DO NOT BUY THE INTERNATIONAL EDITION!

A warning to potential buyers that the international edition differs greatly from the hardcover, US edition. Buy it at your own risk as not only the problems are different but the Reference material and other items are also different.

I purchased the International Edition and then ended up getting a used copy of the US edition after struggling because the contents of the book are so different. Don't risk getting behind by buying the International Edition!Lire l'avis complet...

For what it's worth.

The chapter content is the same which is the main reason why you buy a textbook is to read the text! It's just that the exercises, problems, etc. are slightly different but that's OK. Usually when books are "rewritten" or is a new edition the numbers in the problems are what is changed. ie. 4000 to 6000. Any how, I paid half the price and I usually never buy textbooks.Lire l'avis complet...
