What kind of monster does this?!
That very edition — published in 2008 — is going for $50 used on Amazon and people have left reviews for it as recently as last year. This find could be a score for the right person!
Is leaving accounting textbooks a nefarious plot to scare even more people away from accounting? Hmmm…
I have two jokes for this:
1) And they left a managerial accounting book, so whoever takes it won’t even learn real accounting!
2) That managerial accounting book is the biggest piece of fiction of the lot.
When I saw the headline, I was imagining Kieso’s “Intermediate Accounting” and thinking what a jerk someone must be. My 14th Edition clocks in at 1,600 pages.
The little free library near me was inaccessible because it was stuffed with college textbooks! I removed them so the other books could be taken easier.
Nothing will stop me from spreading the Gospel of GAAP!
