Good book.........2007-09-30
The overall book is in great condition.. But the cover page was damage in the process of delivery.. Still a good book..
Poor Textbook.......2007-09-09
I am using this book as a textbook for my accounting course this semester (fall, 2007).
After reading the first four chapters of the book, I found that it was very confusing to read. Particularly, the end-of-the chapter exercise questions are worse. P 4-3 (an exercise at the end of chapter) is one of the countless questions which are written carelessly. In a word, the book is extremely disappointing. I just wonder whether there is anyone else who can write an intermediate accounting textbook in such a clear way as Harrison and Horngren's Financial Accounting was written. Finally, I can't quite understand why instructors are using such a poor book as a textbook.
great reference book but poor text book.......2007-09-09
This book is huge. Nearly 1500 pages of cramped text in small print make it hard to read and handle in the normal day-to-day use for classes. I usually make copies of the individual chapters for studying because of its impossible size. Without any doubt, this book is very comprehensive. It makes a great reference book with its vast coverage of topics and info.
However, I am using this book for three accounting classes. I have already used this for one class and I am currently doing the second class. I spent far more time than necessary completing the course requirements because of the very poor application as a text book. Most good accounting books have plenty of examples and also comprehensive problems at the end to clarify the concepts. Not so with this book. Comprehensive problem sets are absent and examples are minimal. Not very good if you try to understand accounting rules and concepts. The publisher's website has powerpoint slides for each chapter. I found those slides more useful and better organized than the textbook itself.
I give it 1 star as a text book and 4 stars as a reference book
Great Book.......2007-08-26
Great accounting book. This textbook is extremely helpful. It's probably the best text out there. I have this book. I want to part with it. Sctops140 at aol dot com for details. I bought this book for my intermediate accounting class at UW-Whitewater. It really helped me better understand concepts.
Grim, grinding, and expensive; this is the the best you can get.......2007-06-06
My qualifications: BA in Business, BS is Accountancy, MBA finance, CPA, Corporate Controller and Financial Mananger. I've been buying and reviewing new editions of this text every few years for over 20 years now. Why? Becasue if accountancy is your profession you cannot afford not to be completely up to date. Things change. Even all you want to do is make a decent salary and vegetate somewhere, someone is trying to bury you and take your job (or your company). Count on it. It is about competiveness, survival, and prospering. When can you quit studying? Never.
This is the text to put you ahead. I have seen shorter, more simple, less comprehensive, and much cheaper texts. But do you want the competitive edge or not?
There are other non-book alternatives. If your're a CPA, you'll have to keep plugging along with the CPE programs forever (sigh), but they don't hack it in depth compared to this. Even the AICPA's Journal of Accountancy, though highly reccomended, and far more timely than any book, cannot cover the details adequately.
Or you could take a CPA exam review course like Becker's every so oftern. That will set you back a fortune and hundreds of hours of your life. But you will be completely up to the minute on most everything. How long you remember everything after finishing the review course is another question.
"A practicing CPA simply cannot know the answers to many practice questions as they arise but rather needs the ability to find such answers." (NASBA site) This is the one stop text to do it.
A couple pieces of advice. Don't take the text into the office unless you see it (or others like it) on partners' bookshelves. Keep it out in the car for lunch, afterwork, fake restroom breaks,last minute reviews before you go in, or whatever. Also, never ever take it into a client's site. It may sometimes seem like a good idea, but your manager will probably slap you around for it.
Any text is only good for a few years, then spring for a new edition. If you get this text, give yourself some time working through it on the parts that are new to you or give you the most trouble or worry at work. Then consider buying the study guide. It's not a substitute for the book but it can speed things up for you a lot.
If you think this is a lot of work or baloney, try weighing it against not getting a good raise or promotion. Best wishes and good look.
P.S. I'm on this page because I'm buying my latest copy.

Absolutely horrible text.......2007-05-28
This book has lots of examples, I'll give the other reviewers that, but it doesn't explain very well how they get from point A to point B. This book, as well as all introductory accounting books, need to be written so that they can be understood by a person that picks up a book on their own could figure out what was going on. It isn't written for the intro student. There has been times that my instructor, whom is a professional in the field of accounting, has not been able to figure out what they were asking for.
Decent Book.......2007-01-03
This is a good teaching book. It does a great job at explaining concepts and seems to be easy reading.
Excellent Accounting Textbook.......2006-11-15
Using it for my Intermediate Accounting Classes and it's a very detailed and easy to pick up. It's also very organized with the course material.
Great Book on Accounting .......2006-07-10
Very good book on Accounting 101. It does cover most of the basic topics of Accounting and has lots of examples.
It was more fun taking the class from Prof Sepe, in SCU. He makes Accounting so easy that a person like me with non Accounting background can understand it too.

Great Book.......2007-08-26
Great book. Very useful. I have the textbook still in shrink wrap, and the workbook that goes along with it. I want to part with it. Sctops140 at aol dot com for details. I purchased it for a microeconomics class at Beloit College. The workbook helps understand the concepts explained in the textbook.
terrible economics book.......2007-02-23
As many others have noted it contains very few numerical examples. I didnt have the workbook so maybe that would have helped, but so far this book is completely useless. I wouldnt recommend this unless you really love the pure formulas an no examples. If its required i guess its better than nothing
Fantastic Textbook.......2007-01-10
We used this textbook in my intermediate micro class at Cornell University, and I have to say, it is quite possibly the best textbook I've had. I'm more of a math person myself, and this book did a wonderful job of fleshing out the concepts with mathematical examples. Definitely recommended!
Good Ec Book.......2006-12-13
This is the standard intro-level economics textbook at Harvard, and it is well written. Covers all expected topics to good depth, with excellent examples. A reasonably suitable book for reading, and a simply useful textbook. Recommended.
Very confusing.......2006-12-04
I have use this book for my undergraduate class. It is too confusing to understand anything I read.

Customer Reviews:
Stop this nonsense!.......2007-10-01
This book is a P.O.S. The explanations are poor and confusing, I frequently find myself referring to other works for clarity, even on subjects I know well. Profs use this piece of trash because they are too lazy to make the migration to any of the many other better corporate finance books that are now available. Brigham checked out of the authorship business many years ago. This is now simply mechanical production from the Thomson machine.
It's only a outline of the textbook.......2007-03-16
It likes a dictionary. It lists all the definition of the concepts. I recommend you to buy the textbook instead of this book. I have returned it.
Intermediate Corporate Finance.......2007-02-19
Good textbook, wish it provided cd with all powerpoint,spreadsheets and end of chapter solutiions.
one of the best sources of corporate finance.......2004-03-02
one of the best sources of corporate finance
Average.......2002-12-13
I wasn't too impressed with this text. I found that many of the chapters were incredibly verbose, and seemed to confuse me even more in some instances. Perhaps one of the problems (obviously not Brigham's fault) was that my prof "wizzed" through some of these chapters, so reading the "wordy, never-ending" chapters was overwhelming. Further, I think that some concepts could have been more simplified, when instead Brigham seemed to ramble and "lost" me.
In short, I think some "academics" (profs, grad students, etc) might be impressed with the depth with which Brigham wrote. However, not all of the students are on the same level, and this must be taken into consideration when the author revises the text. We are using the text as a guide for learning, not as a means to evaluate the author's aptitude in the field of finance...

Perfect for studying.......2005-10-11
This book was a great help in studying for exams. The problems are good (and there are plenty) and the answers are immediately available with detailed explanations. I highly recommend this workbook.
Intermediate Accounting.......2005-08-03
I was struggling (what I call struggling) in the class until I bought this book along with Volume II. I found that it helped me immensely. Though my instructor is good, she goes through things a lot faster than I was able to take notes for. This book was definately beneficial for keeping my GPA!!!
Great Accounting companion.......2003-09-28
This book is a great companion to the Textbook Intermediate Accounting by Donald E. Kieso, and Jerry Weygandt. Helpful to the serious accounting student in identifying their mistakes and correcting them. Aids the student in the correct formatting for this course. This should be used only after the problems have been worked out as a check.
