Title: 2nd Edition means many errors
Review: Recognize that this is only a second edition and that all the bugs have not been worked out yet. I have found several typos, misprints, errored calculations, etc. within this text. Also, the layout is not student friendly. Studying for several hours from this text will cause headaches. It is very difficult to look back in a chapter and find something as the sections don't readily stand out. The authors appear to struggle at times to clarify the issues surrounding a topic. Very often this vague writing leaves the student with the responsibility of deciphering the author's intentions. Also, the errors can cause horrendous confusion. They can be overcome, but only when the student understands the material enough to recognize an error. Overall, this is a fairly poor book especially for those looking to learn advanced accounting. This book should be more accurate as the only change it really recieved is an update concerning the impairment of goodwill.
