This book came during the time that it said it would be delivered, and I was very satisfied in the condition that it came in. I was expecting more wear on the book, but it seems practically new.
excellent, excellent book to learn accounting principles from nothing

Not all textbooks are good at teaching. However, this book is phenomenal and explains everything necessary to understand elementary accounting with remarkable clarity. It is concise yet thoroughly detailed. Anything that I didn't understand at first was clearly explained chapter after chapter. Very, very well done. I couldn't imagine a better book to learn the fundamental level of accounting.
Excellent book

One of the best books in finance. It's very clear and couldn't be simpler. This book is an excellent choice for students who are beginning to learn finance. I highly recommend it. All the books of these authors are great.
This is a great book

I am currently enrolled in the CFA program (Level II candidate), and this book was used for my first corporate finance class. I must say that I was a bit turned off at first by the amount of colorful pictures and charts the Brigham book contained under the assumption that the more staid the book was, the less gimmicks it had and the better it was (like the Brealey-Myers book). However, I was repeatedly struck by how conscise Brighams' explanations and examples were. The book not only had exhaustive coverage, but it was very well-written. The vignettes at the beginning of each of the chapter really shows a good application of the chapter's lesson in the real world.When ever I come across a question concerning finance, I almost always reach for the Brigham and Houston book first--it's that good.
A Good Introductory Text

I'd never had any accounting courses before. This textbook was required for my financial accounting course in an MBA program. The book does a good job of logically explaining all the important topics. Unfortunately, it takes a Herculean effort to sit down and study the material due to the dry subject matter.The authors did a good job of using examples from real firms, which, I think, makes it more interesting. I've decided to keep this book after the course for a reference.
