What You Need

I had two intermediate acc. classes at college that went by this book... one for the first half of the book, one for the second half. For those intimidated by the size, trust me it isn't that bad; probably 2/5 of the 1400 pages are for the after-chapter exercises and problems, which are, needless to say, integral to your understanding of accounting. The fact is, there simply isn't enough room in the text to cover all the situations/complexities (for instance in leases) tested by the problems/exercises, so this book definitely isn't complete without the solution manual. Yes, the chapters do seem looong (35 pg. average if I remember and positively DENSE with material, footnotes and all), but it is well written and a focused effort on your part should get you through each in a reasonable amount of time. They have also made available the updated pension chapter (pre-2008 versions are no longer valid) on their website, and for what most would say is the hardest material in the entire text, I thought they did a very good job (or it could be that the "old" pension accounting presented in my Financial Accounting book was just really confusing).
