Any question that an "all-of-the-above" option, was ALWAYS "all-of-the-above". Worse than that is that the answers were in the back of the book with NO EXPLAINATION. Please at least tell me why "b" was the correct answer. <br /> <br />I think the book brushed over some of the essential accounting concepts, while focusing on less important topics. <br /> <br />I wish I would have never written in this book, but I guess I'm stuck with it now...

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the basics of accounting. It is a must-read for those setting up a computerized accounting system.

I would recommend getting both books. <br /> <br />They're ideal for a small business owner who wants to save a little money--it's a lot cheaper to do the books yourself and have a professional accountant review your work than it is to hire one full time.

Alvarez Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:03:55 +0000 http://www.accountantbrea.com/alpha-teach-yourself-accounting-in-24-hours-2nd-edition/#comment-234 This book is easy to read and understand. It gave me all the information I needed to understand basic accounting. I immediately used what I learned to help a few people set up their accounting records. This book will stay in my library of resources for a long time! Rating: 5 / 5 This book is easy to read and understand. It gave me all the information I needed to understand basic accounting.
