This was a very good introduction, in my opinion, to financial accounting; I don't feel as if I didn't learn anything, on the contrary, it was very educational. It applies a conversational tone and a great deal of practice problems after each chapter. It was a little on the expensive side for me, but I have to admit I am very pleased with my purchase.
Dr. David Spiceland and company do a great job explaining Financial Accounting to first time student of accounting. The books is very self-explanatory and easy to follow. The examples really help explaining tough topics and I really liked the little paragraphs that explain the common mistakes students make because it saves you time and effort by avoiding common errors. One thing I will say is sometimes the text can become a little dry, but if you are actively reading it is not too bad.
I really recommend this book for anyone who is beginning accounting. Also, the Connect Plus is nice because it gives you homework to reinforce the material. Also, something great about the Connect Plus is the help button it gives you on homework it brings up an online copy of the book and takes you to the section and page the question relates to.
