Excellent book, but no solutions!, February 11, 2000
This is an excellent book, very well written and comprehensive. However, without an instructor or a complete solutions manual, this book is impossible to use! When are authors and publishers going to learn that a beautifully thoughtout set of exercises is utterly worthless in a quantitative subject like Accounting without the solutions available! I'm presently taking a course from this book, however I would never buy this book for personal use - no answers!

What a dissappointing, unclear and abstract textbook! The chapters ill-prepare and ill-equip the student to solve any of the exercises. In addition, the book provides no key figures or key points for which a student can guide himself. It seems that the motive is to deliberately confuse the student and obfiscate the topics. In using this textbook, you are guaranteed to need supplemental textbooks, workbooks and study guides in order to get an adequate understanding (and how nice... they offer these items for purchase!). I really question the authors' intent and purpose given their unnecessary obscure approach to the topic. Stay away from this book.

As a recent accounting graduate, and current graduate student, I can tell you that this text is one of the best accounting books I ever read. Intermediate Accounting is a tough, voluminous subject, which is why it takes two semesters to get through it! Keiso and Weygandt do a great job of walking students through the specifics of a topic, along with its history, alternatives, and the profession's arguments for and against some of the more controversial ones. The problems and cases following the chapters are extremely challenging and thought-provoking; great supplements to the readings and class lectures. If you are an accounting professor, or an accounting student or professional, this book is a fantastic textbook and excellent resource during your career. I will have it in my cubicle at my firm!

I ordered this book as a refresher and am so pleased. I learn by doing not just reading something and this book has plenty of problems for me to do. I recommend this book to anyone who needs refreshing or needs extra help with accounting classes. It is a very good learning tool. Also, it arrived on time and in very good condition.

This book is great for anyone learning how to do basic bookkeeping. It explains everything clearly, and give lots of practice problems. I have really learned a lot so far. However, it has a chapter on Peachtree Accounting, which was not helpful, because I am trying to learn QuickBooks.

This has been a lifesaver for me - I have learnt so much from this book and being able to do so many activities with the solutions there has been wonderful.

I'm taking Financial accounting class. However, I found out that this access card is only valid for managerial accounting. Maybe, I can use it next semester. Cheaper than online though!

I was required to have this for my business class, its a great program (hosted online) and is very convenient for doing homework. When I went to order this, the estimated shipping date was 2 weeks out plus actually delivery time. So I checked 2 day shipping and paid the but it didn't come anywhere close to 2 days. In review, great product but know shipping will take a long time.
