If you read a financial text w/o checking the numbers, you wouldn't find the mistakes. This book has had too many, because I am checking the numbers. I had to cross reference this book with a Financial Accounting text b/c I kept thinking I was incorrect.All I have to say is take a look at pages 100, 101, 102 for great examples of the many mistakes. I am not happy.By the way, I picked up this book from a friend in order to gauge whether I would buy the new version. Guess what I am not going to buy?
