What's the best basic college Accounting text book?

I'm starting an MBA in August and was told it would help if I brushed up on Accounting concepts and principals. I work in the financial industry, but do not have any real academic business background yet. I'm trying to find what is the best or most commonly used text book for basic college Accounting classes.

1. The accounting book I have is actually for 3 courses: accounting 1, accounting 2, and managerial accounting. It's Financial and Managerial Accounting by Horngren/Harrison. The ISBN-13 is 978-0-13-156877-8 and the ISBN-10 is 0-13-156877-9. I love this book....it's easy to understand, and if you buy it new, it comes with a passcode for myaccountinglab.com, which will help out a lot too.
