Your Business Review series is excellent. While this series was not designed for CLEPs or any of the other standardized examinations universities use to test accomplished areas of knowledge, I have found the entire series crucial for just that. Particularly as I am entering an MBA program. These volumes were precisely what I needed, and I have been telling everyone with even slight interest in these topics about them. Specifically, I am referring to the following books of the series (by title): Accounting, Business Statistics, Economics, Finance, Management, and Marketing.
This book helps in clearing up tough concepts discussed in more bloated college texts. Therefore, this is a perfect supplement to anyone in Accounting I. The examples and explanations are easy to understand and the illustrations are helpful.
I learned the principles of accounting in a week using this book. These are the things I like about it: 1. Copious examples 2. Small in size and inexpensive 3. Explains accounting from a manual perspective (ie does not assume that you have Quickbooks, etc). That way you get to learn the underlying principles better 4. Covers all the bases in an introductory course I would highly recommend this to individuals that want to learn accounting. This is an excellent first book. Keep in mind that once you have mastered the basics from this book, you will want to go to other more advanced texts.
