A Surprisingly Good Read

I bought this textbook sight unseen with the intend of using it as a reference for work. I originally learned mangerial accounting in my MBA program some years ago using Noreen and Garrison's Managerial Accounting textbook. It was my first choice as it is regarded as the best textbook on the subject but I could not get it for a reasonable price. So, I saw that this textbook had just came out and I went for it. At first glance, I was more or less unimpressed with its content comparing it to my old Noreen and Garrison' textbook. Bamber/Braun/Harrison's text seemed too simplicitic and not to deep in content. But, I decided to keep it and work through it. It did not take me long to realize it is a great textbook. It is very readable and loaded with lots of complete worked out examples. It is also very visually appealing. It is clean and uncluttered with excellent graphics and it is printed on high quality, low-glare paper. The author's explain terms and concept's very well. Again, it is not as sophisticated/complicated as Noreen/Garrison (but that is where they fall down). To be sure, I also bought on the cheap the 3rd edition of Cost Management by Hilton. Again, Bamber/Braun/Harrison beats it it too for it clear prose and explanations. Ex. Bamber/Braun/Harrison do a terrific job explaining the topic of Operating Levarge on pages 386 and 387 including a good example. In Hilton's book, he does it in a paragraph and I swear, I have no clue what he was trying to say. Final point, I also purchased the study guide that accompanies Bamber/Braun/Harrison. It is also an excellent teaching product. It is the best looking - most useful study guide I have ever used (for economics Brune and McConnell's study guide is by far the most comprehensive and exhaustive). It is printed on exceptionally good paper, in color using the same graphics as the main text. Each chapter is loaded with lots of fully worked out Demo problems. If you are an instructor, I would urge you to take a good look at this textbook for use in your classes as it will definitely make learning this challenging subject much easier.
