The books were very detailed oriented. Sometimes had to much wording which confused myself and even my professor at times and allot of misspelled words. Other then that it was a great learning experience.

it’s well written and easy to read, the only thing i would sugest that you add the accounting equation A=L+Owner’s equity. The way i was tought is that a credit or a debit is depending on the side of the equation is and what does it do to the account (decrease it or increase it) and that increases are always in the outside…..Also adding pictures will make the reading more pleasent
