I'm currently taking accounting & bookeeping classes, it's helpful to have the teacher because with out the teacher I would be lost trying to figure this out on my own. Be sure to get the Bookkeeping Book "the easy way" they got together well. Good luck to all learning!

This is the best bookkeeping book I've stumbled upon. It is organized well, meaning the order of chapters follows a layperson's logic and prepares them well for the task ahead.
Learn it before using Software like Quickbooks.

I am completely new to accounting and bookkeeping. I wanted a book I could teach myself the basics before using software. I went to my local Borders and found this book was the only one that actually made you DO exercises to make sure you understood what you were learning. So far this book has been great. Accounting terms and concepts can be confusing for normal people like me (chemist) but this book does a great job making you understand by doing and not just reading. There are a few mistakes in the answer section but the book teaches me well enough for me to realize that they are mistakes. Enough said.

I am a bookkeeper and accountant for almost twenty years and this was a great book to brush up on skills I don't use all the time. It was easy and very excellent for beginners as well as professionals as myself. I highly recommend this book.
Easy to Understand!

My husband has started his own small business and I am his Office Manager, so I started reading different books on Bookkeeping & Accounting. Most of them did nothing more than confuse me. I found this book to be Excellent! It is easy to understand, easy to follow, and the questions & problems section (practice lessons) really helped me. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who needs to understand the basics!
