WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE FACT THAT THIS WAS A WORKBOOK AND NO INDICATION AS TO THAT FACT. I WAS LOOKING FOR THE TEXT AND WHEN I RECEIVED THE BOOK IT WAS A WORKBOOK BUT THE DESCRIPTION SAID NOTHING TO THIS BEING A WORKBOOK

i have some accounting background
this book is excellent for review and also for those who don't have background. good written language (very easy to understand) and illustrates with good examples. you'll understand the basic accounting concepts within a very short time.

The ad doesn't tell you that you need a workbook to be able to use this book. You can't even get through page 1 without having the workbook. Now I need it and can't find it anywhere. Bummed I spent so much money on it without having the entire set.

Most of the other reviewers who have given this book 5 stars have it right. I very 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 very 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 very first started out: 1- Analysis for Financial Managment by Robert Higgins and 2- Finance for Managers by the Harvard Business Press.
