Summary: Not the package deal the publisher leds you to believe
Review: My criticism is not against the book per sec but it is most definitely toward the manner in which it is sold. The book comes as a package with extras that turn out to be nothing more than a free CPA study guide last updated 9 Aug 03 (almost a year ago and you have to mail in a card that gets answered 6 weeks later by email with a link to down load) which makes it out of date with its competitors for the new computerized exam. Then there is the Power Web website that you can go to with the password in the book. Except for the PowerPoint slides and Excel spreadsheets for some homework I found the site useless. McGraw-Hill would be better selling this book by itself (which when I called them it is no longer available by itself) with out the extras that are not worth the cost or updating its "guide" and including it along with the PowerPoint slides, Excel spreadsheets, and Word check figures on a CD IN the book when you buy it. This whole thing is nothing more than gouging already cash strapped students. McGraw-Hill should be ashamed. If you must buy the book as a student get a used copy without the junk; if you are a college bookstore please do your students/customers a monetary kindness and sell the book at the lower "by itself" price.
