The Tenth Edition of College Accounting retains the successful characteristics that make it a market leader--accuracy, careful pacing, and repetition of accounting terms, concepts, and procedures--while integrating new small-business and career features that provide students with real-world business experience.

I have very mixed feelings about this book. Overall, the book is well written and easy to follow. However, it seems like the publisher is trying so hard to create new editions that they are causing the quality of the book to go down. Instead of releasing a new edition in order to improve the book, they are just mixing and matching and moving stuff around. The purpose of the newer editions is just to make it hard for college students to resell the book after taking a class.
This textbook has the basic principles of accounting theory and practice, emphasizing the sole-proprietorship form of business. Primary areas of study include the theory of debit and credit, accounts, and special journals, the accounting cycle, notes and interest, accruals and deferrals, receivables, inventory, plant assets, and the preparation of financial statements.
However it does not get 5 stars due to the numerous errors my class (I am a student) has found in it. I hope they catch them in the reprint because they are an issue.
