Customer Reviews

Excellent!

The service was great. Book in excellent condition as stated. Shipping was fast. Would use again.

Make sure that your buy the correct edition!!!!

A new 6th edition of Hansen has just published. This has a green/black cover with an aircraft cockpit on it (ISBN 0324559674). If you still want to buy the old 5th edition (why?), only buy the one with a black/brown cover showing people around a table. Make sure you buy the correct edition. I have just has two buyers buy the wrong edition because they didn't check the ISBN or edition details correctly.

TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY; THAT'S A QUESTION!

The text is pretty comprehensive and covers the subject of Cost Management broadly and deeply. Since there are not too many textbooks on the topic; therefore, authors are admired for their devoted efforts they put into. The publisher should understand the matter inside the book and manage the cost of this book and make it afforable to the students. For students, it's tough beginning before learning "Cost Management", the book incurs too much cost and puzzles students how they should manage their own budgets. Anyway, it might be the strategy of the authors or the publishing company to begin the lessons from the sale. As one scholar said, "Experience is a tough teacher, which gives exams first and teaches lessons thereafter." As far as the contents are concerned, the book is highly recommended, but at a lower price. Thank you for your time for reading this review.

Great Condition

the book was just like brand new, no underlining, no torn pages etc. the book is great

Graduate Accounting ARGHHH!!!

Pretty good book that explains complex subject matter in an easy to understand manner. MBA students without an accounting background can easily comprehend the concepts presented. The only fault I found is that sometimes the authors get too wordy trying to make their point. One of the best accounting textbooks I've used in my educational career.
