Beautiful Celtic Designs For Coloring!.......2006-05-18
This is a really nice Celtic line art illustration book for coloring. All of the Dover coloring books are top of the line, and this one is no exception. Features a few examples from the legendary "Book Of Kells" itself, as well as general celtic surface ornament from various sources. Also, the designs are "copyright free" for any craft project you may wish to use them in. Exellent for any crafter's library.
Celtic Coloring Book Conducive to Creativity.......2001-11-15
I would recommend this coloring to most adults, but probably not for kids. Some of the pages contain some drawings with very tiny lines. There are plenty of pages to keep you going, so you won't be disappointed. I found these images to be wonderfully authentic and fun to color. You'll want to hang your finished masterpiece on the wall or fridge, and you might even ponder framing it! I discovered this to be a theraputic activity after a long day of work. I had a lot of fun coloring and even shared with some friends!
excellent resource.......1999-06-22
This affordable, sometimes hard to find book is an excellent resorce for designers and artisans (including tattooists) designs from the Book of Kells are rendered in thick clear black line.
Book Description
Recreate glories of Celtic art with 16 full-page plates of Celtic motifs printed on translucent paper. Intricate, sinuous depictions of mythical beasts, Celtic crosses, saints, other subjects. Simply color and hang near a light source for exciting stained glass effects. Designs printed on both sides of translucent paper.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent pictures... lots of fun!.......2001-01-12
This book is a very nice depiction of life in Celtic times. It has easy to color pictures that are good for children, as well as adults. (In fact, I colored several pictures with my husband and we both had a good time!) The pictures depict rural, agricultural life -- working in the fields, around the house, with animals, etc. They also show the community spirit of the Celts. One image that DID disturb me was the picture of a "Wicker Man"-- a large, hollow statue made of wicker. Some historians think that the Wicker Man was used by the Celts to destroy their enemies. They would put live people in the Wicker Man and then light it on fire. The picture in the book DOES show live people inside the Wicker Man but they are not yet on fire. Other historians think that the Wicker Man may have been Roman propaganda. Either way, it might be a bit graphic for young children.

Excellent supplement to an advanced accounting class.......2007-04-19
This is not a "how-to" book. It offers in-depth reading in the areas that are normally covered in an Advanced Accounting class. I would recommend this book as "further reading" for a student taking such a class but not as a "how-to" book. Each chapter does have some example diagrams and financial statements that illustrate the subject. At the end of each chapter you will find some review exercises, however, there are no answers to those exercises. This fact makes the exercises nothing more than annoying and this is the reason that I took off one star from my rating. If you are looking for a "how-to" book, I would suggest getting the CPA study guide called "Financial Accounting and Reporting" by Wiley.
"Slogging" Defined.......2006-06-13
OK folks, here's a contrarian review of this book. Consider it an opinion which "balances" other reviews presented in this book review section. Here goes.
Webster defines the word "slog" as "to plod one's way perseveringly especially against difficulty; to plod heavily".
What an apt description of the effort required to read this book!
If you're engaged in the CFA curriculum, this book comes as a recommended (practically required) textbook. That's unfortunate because this book's various authors are inconsistent in making the material readable and understandable.
Yes, the book is comprehensive. Chapter topics include: Accrual Concept, Analysis of Cash Flows, Ratio and Financial Analysis, Analysis of Long-Lived Assets, Analysis of Income Taxes, Analysis of Financing Liabilities, Leases and Off-Balance-Sheet Debt, Pensions, Intercorporate Investments, Multinational Operations, and Business Combinations. Great stuff to know - practical matters to understand and master.
However, this book presumes a solid understanding of intermediate level accounting, and provides little or no review of these concepts before delving into the topical material. It makes learning more challenging, and when time is of the essence, that's problematic. So I found myself "slogging" through the course material in an effort to learn Level II material.
Supplemental reading is often required to make up for what the authors fail to teach effectively. Here's a tip: Schaum's Intermediate Accounting II has an excellent chapter #10 on Pension Accounting which will benefit you in your studies. Likewise, I have found other Schaums's Outlines to be very instructive and beneficial (consider reading my other reviews).
The CFA Institute would do well to consider recommending other Financial Analysis textbooks to cover the same material - a book that is more readable and user-friendly. One that's more engaging rather than one which requires heavy plodding!
Very good book, but not for beginners.......2006-05-14
The book requires solid knowledge of accounting so not recommended for beginners. Do not expect long explanations and illustrations. They just give some basic examples and generally they don't provide journal entries. It is not an accounting book! Don't be scared if first time there are parts that are not clear as the chapters are interlinked. Give it another chance.
Pretty good book.......2005-12-19
My accounting professor recommended this book ... found it to be very useful to get a handle on many accounting principles I was struggling with in my MBA course. What I like the best about the book is that it allows you to et as detailed as you want to get - it all depends on your interest. For instance I just wanted to get familiar with some issues like accounting for pension and it has very well explained the basics of pension accounting and on other hand where I wanted to get into details of handling of stock options it had all the details I was looking for.
Horribly written.......2005-12-13
I have read this book several times because it was lucky enough to be selected as part of the CFA curriculum. Out of all the accounting texts that I have read, this is by far the worst. I found myself reading and rereading this book several times just to make sense of it, not to mention the fact that I was continually calling upon friends that work as accountants for help. This book even managed to confuse them. I'm sure that there is a wealth of good information in this book; the problem is that you may have to read it five times before you decipher it.

Winning Business provides the benchmarks business managers should track. It shows managers how to calculate each benchmark, AND presents ways to improve their results. In short, this book provides a company with a blueprint for success. Each benchmark produces a value that managers can track over time to monitor the impact on their operations. To help managers evaluate their performance, it provides industry-wide benchmarks that list the results retailers, manufacturers, and even publishers should target.
Winning Business provides benchmarks for:
Managerial accounting
Sales and marketing
Employee benefits
Financial performance
Market indicators
Inventory analysis
Many others

Versatile Reference Tool for both Home and Work.......2000-02-23
Both in my personal and professional dealings with financial analysis, Winning Business has proven to be an extremely valuable resource. From a personal standpoint, the detailed yet clear explanations of the indicators and ratios have elevated my understanding of financial statements. In evaluating potential investments, Winning Business has increased my comfort level in performing fundamental analysis and comparing various companies.
From a professional standpoint, my company has utilized several of the performance and benchmarking indicators detailed within this book as measures to track key value drivers. The indicators have given us quantifiable targets to shoot for internally as well as providing a means to see how we measure up to our competition. Winning Business has proven to be an extremely valuable reference tool I keep both on my bookshelf at home and at work. I have a hard time remembering the formulas and significance of many of the ratios; it is helpful to have a source where they are both easy to find and understand.
