As a student of Accounting it was essential to find a book that gave clear and concise information. I found Frank Woods to be the best on offer. It is extremely well written and the examples are very well illustrated. Accounting is a subject I love and enjoy and to find a book, that was written by someone who also has a passion for accounting, was incredible. The format of the chapters is excellent as well and it also gives you a very good insight into the accounting environment. I have used both his books and admire him very much.
