Editorial Reviews:
As the long-time best-seller, Garrison has helped guide close to 2 million students through the challenging waters of managerial accounting since it was first published. It identifies the three functions managers must perform within their organizations?plan operations, control activities, and make decisions?and explains what accounting information is necessary for these functions, how to collect it, and how to interpret it. To achieve this, Managerial Accounting, 12/E, focuses, now as in the past, on three qualities:. Relevance. Every effort is made to help students relate the concepts in this book to the decisions made by working managers. With insightful chapter openers, the popular Managerial Accounting in Action segments within the chapters, and stimulating end-of-chapter exercises, a student reading Garrison should never have to ask ?Why am I learning this?? . Balance. There?s more than one type of business, and so Garrison covers a variety of business models, including not-for-profit, retail, service, and wholesale organizations as well as manufacturing. In the twelfth edition, service company examples are highlighted with icons in the margins of the text. . Clarity. Generations of students have praised Garrison for the friendliness and readability of its writing, but that?s just the beginning. Technical discussions have been simplified, material has been reordered, and the entire book carefully retuned to make teaching?and learning?from Garrison as easy as it can be. In addition, the supplements package is written by Garrison, Noreen, and Brewer, ensuring that students and professors will work with clear, well-written supplements that employ consistent terminology..

 International Edition
The book seems fine and is defiantly readable, but do NOT order the international edition like I did. The main content seems the same, but ALL the questions in the back are different, meaning I can't use this book for homework, studying with others, or comparing against the answers the professor gives us.
I repeat, do NOT order the international version.  Pleased
I was pleased with the condition of the textbook and most importantly the deliver time. right on time
This arrived in 4 days and I'm thoroughly impressed. It's a required book for my class and although I haven't yet covered all the material, it seems to present the basics of managerial accounting in a factual and thorough manner. A five so far... great purchase
thanks for making this transaction so easy and the book being the just as described.  Get the previous edition...
The only difference between this and the previous edition are the questions at the end of each chapter. I would check to see if you can use the previous edition and get the questions from a friend for homework, etc. This is just another example of a publisher ripping off students.
