Spinner Winner.......2005-08-06
Another great concept by Spinner Books. Can You Beat Ken? has all the elements of a game show, in a fully portable format. We took it along on a recent family vacation, and it provided hours of entertainment. Simply put, it's heaps of thought provoking fun.
GAME TO GO.......2005-07-31
This is my first Spinner Book, and I love it. What a wonderful idea to put a board game between the covers of a book. Thanks to this interactive book, a recent trip we took went by in a flash. And playing against Ken Jennings made it all the more enjoyable.
Road trip with Ken.......2005-07-30
This book is a treasure trove of challenging questions. We took it on a road trip last month. The pages are now dog-eared like one might expect to see with a best-selling novel. The play value and repeat play value are high. All I want for Christmas is the boxed version of this book.
You can this book by its cover.......2005-07-30
In this case, you actually can tell a book by its cover. Bright outside. Brilliant inside. I totally enjoyed playing CAN YOU BEAT KEN? by the book. So my advice to you is, buy the book!

I love Ken, and now I love Ken's game..........2005-07-29
When I was a kid, I was hooked on Jeopardy. (Yep, sorta had a crush on Alec Trebek.) Alas, when real life (and real boys) got in the way, I quit watching... but then came Ken, and I could not HELP but get hooked again! Who says that smarty-pants geeks aren't sexy? Trust me, they are!
When his run on the show ended, I was bereft! Thank goodness CAN YOU BEAT KEN? came out! When I read about it, I went panting and heaving to my local bookstore to get a copy. I'm happy to report that my wildest fantasies have come true--at least in print: Ken (well, anyway, his book) kept me up all night as I moved from category to category, trying to answer as many questions as I could. It's a mix of every kind of trivia, and because there are true/false, multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions, it's never boring (duh!). Best of all: the kind of arcana Ken has collected here just takes my breath away! (My own area of expertise, movies and pop culture, is well-represented and even I was challenged.) Bottom line: it is truly a factoid feast! If you're a trivia trollop like me, you'll eat this book up.

Book Description
The object of the board game is to be the first player to win the jackpot of over two million dollars. Advance the game token and watch your earnings grow by correctly answering questions covering more than 30 different categories.
In the Spinner Book you'll compete with Ken and each other in round after round, game after game, and get the ones he missed for double the points!
We posed every question to Ken and handicapped him by not giving him the options on the multiple choice questions, but he still scored an amazing 75 percent! Here's your chance, though, to match wits with him and see if you can beat Ken at his own game!

Super !!.......2007-08-04
Received in about 14 days from the US to Japan. Had a slight delay in shipping but book came well within time period and in perfect condition.
A starting book.......2007-07-04
If you have been out of accounting for a while or starting from scratch it is a good book to start with. Of course the main focus is of getting an overview for the balanced sheet, income statement and cash flow. For someone who is starting in accounting the section F2 gives an inside for financial interpretation and another good point is a lot of cases and calculation examples are included in this revision. But if you are looking for a more deeper insight than this book will only help you the half way to get their.
Beware.......2007-06-22
If this book is required for your class beware! There are still questions in the self study questions, through out the book that after 6 editions are still are wrong. The book will say one thing in the chapter and then want you to do another in the chapter questions, without the benifit of telling you how or giving an example. I took my course online without the benifit of an instructor to ask questions face to face. This proved to be difficult. I am sure if you have a GOOD understanding of accounting this is a good book however with out a little background it can be a little trying.
Just an ordinary accounting book.......1999-10-04
The book is overall quite good as an introductory text for accounting, but there are other books out there, equally good, that come a lot cheaper.
Book Description

A very systematic approach to Financial Accounting.......2000-08-19
I read this book as a part of my Accounting class in my Masters program. The book has a very systematic approach to teach the basic accounting principles. It has very nice real world examples at the beginning of each chapter. The chapters are in a very orderly manner. I did not have an accounting background at all. But the book taught things in a way that everything made sense chapter after chapter. Each chapter conveyed ideas that were basis for the subsequent chapters. The organization of the book is one of the best among the text books I have read. Every chapter has a demonstration problem that covers main concepts in that chapter. In addition to that there are quick check questions within the chapter which helps you to stop and recollect whatever you learnt till different points in a chapter. Reading this book is never tiresome because of this. Also there are problems in each chapter that if worked out properly will provide a very thorough knowledge of key concepts. As a whole, I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to start start learning Accounting. There are very minor errors in the answers given to some problems. But the way concepts are presented is very crisp and clear.
Book Description
This text, written by an experienced author team, is designed to help students understand how to use both managerial and financial accounting information to make decisions. Class-tested for three years across the United States, its student-friendly approach has already earned it rave reviews. The text provides an introduction to business in Chapter 1 and is the only introductory accounting book to have an entire chapter (Chapter 2) devoted to creative and critical thinking. A non-technical approach makes learning accounting accessible for majors and non-majors, focuses students on using accounting information for decision making, and conforms with AECC guidelines for teaching accounting. A full-chapter length appendix on the accounting cycle (debits/credits) allows instructors to implement this portion of the course anywhere they desire.

New Direction in Managerial Accounting textbooks.......2006-02-22
Cunningham et al have added extensive coverage for the role accountants need to play in start-up companies. This is something quite new and exciting to find presented in a managerial accounting textbook. The older textbooks like Horngren were all focused on how you eliminate inefficiences found in the manufacturing process. So what do you do when much of that manufacturing is either contracted out or has moved to China?
Outside of Silicon Valley the most needed skill for accountants in new technology companies is in performing their role during the start-up period. The successful completion of this phase is assumed in the older textbooks and dealt with from chapter 10 onwards here. Horngren and others did not really prepare their students for this situation. Cunningham et al have stepped in and dealt with this emerging need in accounting education.
The authors should include more material on the nature of the accountants role in technology start-ups. Outside of Silicon Valley the accounting students are relying on people such as the authors to tell them what they might pick up from their working environment if they were working in the Valley. This certainly seems to be the case here in Israel. We have the high-tech companies, but accountants have yet to make the transition to this new way of thinking presented in this textbook.

Great, great business book..........2004-02-18
Covers financing from a variety of angles, with a number of different thought points I had not considered on the tax and workforce side. Liked the focus on biotech and pharma as well.
Don't waste your $$$.......2000-11-22
Despite the nice title of the book, it is not worth a $105.00. The decision making models are overviews and are very brief. This book lacks numeracy. The case studies in my opinion are underdeveloped. The author spends time talking about strategic partnerships and the need for venture portfolio companies, to develop them, but he doesn't provide any examples of those that worked. There is some information to be gleaned from this book, but if you can get it for under $30, then buy it. Otherwise at $105, you will be very disappointed. This book is totally overpriced. If I could photocopy it and return it, I would have.
