If you were studying accounting or bookkeeping on your own or in a college setting, and you made a small booklet of everything you highlighted or underlined in your textbook that you expected to see on the final exam you would re-create this book. I wish I had it when I was preparing for my accounting exams. This book won’t make you an accountant, only experience and a lot of hard work will do that, but I’ll bet you keep a copy of “Schaum’s Easy Outline Bookkeeping and Accounting by Joel J. Lerner” in your desk for the first year on the job.

This book is definitely not for novice bookkeepers. You really need to know a lot about the subject in order to understand the material in this book. I personally felt as though it was a waste of money, and it has not helped me enter the bookkeeping field as I had hoped it would have. I had bookkeeping in college 30 years ago and thought this book would refresh my memory, but it did not.

I am a bookkeeper and having trouble putting together the entire Accounting Cycle (computer software hides too many steps). This book might be OK if you are taking a class & need to “memorize answers,” but it did not help me to truly understand…
