This book does not have good explanations or examples. When explaining information, they use too much of their own terminology, which can be very confusing if you don't understand that terminology.

I have not received this book and I ordered almost a month ago. This is the very first experience I have had of this kind. I don't appreciate spending my money for something and not receiving it.

I ordered this book online and my copy was full of typos, missing pages, and missing portions of problems. This created problems for understanding the concepts.
On the upside, the text was clear and the explanations were sufficient to understand the examples.

This reads like an introductory text in the subject. The maths treatment is pretty easy. Nothing approaching calculus, unlike many contemporary economics texts. Significant portions of the book revolve around the proper accounting of costs for developing and marketing a product.
Many examples are given from traditional manufacturing contexts. In part to give a concrete feel to the analysis of allocating effort.
Another important aspect covered is how to deal with cost driver changes. Where the rates of different factors can increase (rarely do they decrease!). You are also given multiple measures of performance. There is no single correct metric; an important lesson in itself.
Each chapter has a substantial exercise set at its conclusion. A deliberately non-trivial effort is needed to do these. But well worth it in order to drive home the chapters' ideas.

I have the edition that has been translated into Dutch. It explained a lot of things for me. I find it easy to read and simple and very useful examples, but would like an answer book.
I did pay a much lower price (under $15), this does affect my judgement.
Use this book in conjunction with Cost Accounting by Horngren, Foster and Datar.
