The Accounting Game, 2E: Basic Accounting Fresh from the Lemonade Stand The Accounting Game, 2E: Basic Accounting Fresh from the Lemonade Stand “Fantastic Learning Tool…Don’t let this book title fool you. It is not an oversimplification of accounting and financial principles. It is, however, a serious and very effective examination of a very small but progressively complex business. There are not many books available on the market that make a complex and dry subject understandable and even fun. This book successfully does just that.”

How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (Personal development) How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (Personal development) “Those who don’t know how to fight worry, die young.” This ominous advice begins Dale Carnegie’s bestseller, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, an eight-part treatise on the follies of worrying. Like other Carnegie books, this one is packed with good old-fashioned common sense, illustrated with examples drawn from research on historical figures and interviews with business leaders. Somehow, even the most simple advice–such as Carnegie’s four-step method of problem solving–is presented in a way that makes you want to write it down and post it on the employee bulletin board. Narrated by the resonant and engaging voice of Andrew McMillan and loaded with relevant real-life examples, this unabridged audiobook maintains interest throughout. (Running time: 10.5 hours, eight cassettes) –Sharon Griggins

Customer Review: Do NOT buy from this seller!
I never even received my book, what a freakin rip! I sent the seller an email and they never responded, thanks for nothing.
Customer Review: Good quality book, long wait to receive it
It took like 3-4 weeks for this book to ship. There was no communication whatsoever and I was ready to cancel my order. Then all of a sudden the book arrives (in great shape) with a note apologizing that they were on vacation. That is fine but I just wish that would have been communicated up front when I placed the order. However, I am not going to bash mother and daughter’s books because it was in great shape and the price was very good. Just a little stressful for a couple weeks.

Managerial Accounting Managerial Accounting As the long-time best-seller, Garrison has helped guide close to 2 million students through the challenging waters of managerial accounting since it was first published. It identifies the three functions managers must perform within their organizations?plan operations, control activities, and make decisions?and explains what accounting information is necessary for these functions, how to collect it, and how to interpret it. To achieve this, Managerial Accounting, 12/E, focuses, now as in the past, on three qualities:

. Relevance. Every effort is made to help students relate the concepts in this book to the decisions made by working managers. With insightful chapter openers, the popular Managerial Accounting in Action segments within the chapters, and stimulating end-of-chapter exercises, a student reading Garrison should never have to ask ?Why am I learning this??

. Balance. There?s more than one type of business, and so Garrison covers a variety of business models, including not-for-profit, retail, service, and wholesale organizations as well as manufacturing. In the twelfth edition, service company examples are highlighted with icons in the margins of the text.

. Clarity. Generations of students have praised Garrison for the friendliness and readability of its writing, but that?s just the beginning. Technical discussions have been simplified, material has been reordered, and the entire book carefully retuned to make teaching?and learning?from Garrison as easy as it can be. In addition, the supplements package is written by Garrison, Noreen, and Brewer, ensuring that students and professors will work with clear, well-written supplements that employ consistent terminology..

Customer Review: Wouldnt have done it if it wasnt for Wiley
Wiley tends to throw in ALL of the information you could possibly be tested on while Becker will hold your hand and teach you tons of little tricks, as well as help you schedule your study time. The Wiley books do include a chapter in the front of the book with a study outline, however I didnt waste my time with it. If you can handle a few obvious typos and are self-motivated enough to hold yourself to a schedule, then you’ll make it through Wiley’s books just fine. I walked out of FAR about ready to jump in front of a bus, but ended up pulling an 85, almost wetting myself. Put in the time and Wiley will not dissapoint. Any complaints i’ve heard about Wiley are more than offset by the price.
Customer Review: Best thing I did
I thought this review book was more than enough to prepare me to pass the AUD section of the CPA exam. I didn’t take any review courses, just read the book and went over all the MC questions and simulations. Would definitely recommend, especially since it’s so much cheaper than taking a review course.
