Summary:
"Introduction to Managerial Accounting, 2/e" by Brewer/Garrison/Noreen is based on the market-leading text, "Managerial Accounting", by Garrison and Noreen. However, this is not simply a briefer book with chapters removed; "B/G/N" has been rethought and retooled to meet the needs of the market. "B/G/N 2/e" is a more accessible, yet thorough student-friendly text that satisfies the basic needs of the managerial accounting student, without unnecessary depth on advanced topics associated with the follow-up course, cost accounting/cost management. Faculty and students alike will find this new edition has retained the hallmark features of the Garrison/Noreen text: many author-written supplements, excellent readability, terrific examples, and balanced end-of-chapter material.

Customer Rating:
I cannot believe that anyone would send a book in a rice krispie treat box..no wonder it took so long to get ot me, you could hardly see my address. SO much for trying to order the book way ahead of time!
Nice Job
Customer Rating:
Accounting can be a real boring topic but this book really helped make the concepts a bit more easy to understand and it really helped me through my college class.
Don't buy the combo!!
Customer Rating:
For this textbook I ordered it because it said that it was the paperback version, not the workbook version. I was given false information when ordering it because it gave me the opportunity to combine the paperback version with the workbook. Then they sent me two workbooks. I was tricked into buying the same book twice by semantics and a glitch in the system.
Great book, almost the same as last edition.
Customer Rating:
I HATE that textbook publishers print out a new edition, with basicaly the same problems as the last edition (only the numbers change). However, to be fair, this is a very clear book, has good examples that follow the exercies in the book. Probably one of the better accounting books I have seen. Also has some chapters of introduction to finance. Overall would recommend.
Ok - not great
Customer Rating:
This book is what I would call an o.k. textbook. It's not horribly hard to sit down & read or understand. On the other hand it's not light reading. There are some areas in later chapters that are not covered as well as I has hoped.
