Shuttle Craft Guild Recipe Book
This series of loose leaf folios is extreamly rare and almost never seen complete. This particular offering is the entire series - I thru VII - still in the envelpe that it was originally mailed in. The envelope has seen better days, but the pages of the folios are in excellent condition. 117 one sided pages in total.

This offering covers many topics in weaving from coverlets to clothing to rugs. It would make an excellent basis for a Guild study group or for someone wishing to outfit their entire home (& self) in handwoven cloth.

Competent Accounting Education
Being a teacher, I find this book is very useful for beiggners as well as for teachers. Basically, In my opinion, accounting can never be understood without concept and principles. This book satisfies all the basic requirements of learners. This book is written in simple and useful business enviornment. It depicts all the concepts and attracts it`s users. The accounting treatments are stated in a simple way. One should can easily understand the basic purpose of financial and manegerial accounting. Really this book is remarkable!! I found this book is very useful. I have not words in my mind to describe it`s actual utility. But one thing is that there is a lack of problems in few chapters, if that could also be included then I am assure that the major problem of practice should be solved. This book described in a simple way, How the accounting performs as the "Language of Business".

Excellence of Accounting Education
I find this is one of best textbooks available in the market. I love reading it very much.

Old but amusing
This is a murder mystery originally published in 1935. Mary Meigs Atwater was the Dean of American Handweaving so Interweave Press reprinted her only published novel (it has nothing to do with weaving, though). While often sounding quite dated (including the sexist references to women despite the female author), the book actually seems quite modern in some aspects. There is a sly, wicked tone describing how the murder (or disappearance because the body is never found) of a small town man changes the town. People descend on the town, money is spent, people who would never have otherwise come in contact meet each other, a love affair is renewed, etc. In addition, "modern" aspects of living such as abortion are included (while the word is never actually used). I enjoyed the author's descriptions of a very, very hot summer, the corn growing all around this small town in the heat. You really had a sense of oppression and of things baking in this heat, coming to a head. This mystery features a twist that isn't really my cup of tea - the murderer is never revealed directly. You have to make your best guest using what clues there are throughout the book and at the end. While I wouldn't keep this book in my collection to read over again, I would still describe it as an enjoyable read. Pick it up if you want something different for your mystery reading.

No theory what so ever
The authors seem unaware of the fact that theory guides our understanding. There are no "objective" facts, yet the authors present all their findings as such with almost no reasoning attached. This is both arrogant and ignorant. The authors display no grasp of theoretical advances in Accounting and I recommend getting a book that has a better exposition of principles as more than practice

wrong item
I was going to get a book with a ISN number of 0072316373...But today, I got one with 0070412901...
So I need you send my money beac to my account, and give me a well reason why you let the seller mail me a totally different book again, It is the second time I get an item with wrong number

Gets to the point
When I first took Financial Accounting, I was using Prentice Hall's Accounting textbook by Hongren. My prof was real anal-retentive and required us to read every chapter. To ensure this, he would quiz us on the contents of each chapter before we covered it in class. I spent so much time trying to wade through the excessive verbage in that book that I ended up not having any time left to do actual problems or sharpen up my practical skills. As a result, I ended up with a D in the class although I understood most of the concepts very well. When I took the course again over the summer, I had a different professor and he used this book. What a breath of fresh air! Meigs and company explain the accounting concepts just as thoroughly as Hongren but with about half the verbage. I breezed through my summer course and got the highest grade in the class. This book is an excellent teaching tool for beginners and would also make a great reference guide for more advanced students.

Accounting for Dummies
Too much time is spent on problems that do not require such exposition -- and more complex and real-life problems are avoided. This study guide is not much help.

Garbage!
Jan Williams, Dean of the Business School at UTK, is known for neither his creativity or knowledge. This book demonstrates that his reputation is well deserved.

Excelent paperwork material!
This is an excelent suplemental book to "Financial Accounting" 9th edition. It gives all of the papers needed for all of the problems so that instead of spending your time drawing tables and charts, you can simply fill in the blanks on the special forms provided for each problem...
