Accounting for Dummies > Customer Review #1:
Not for you if your looking for a bookkeeping treatise.

This book is great (I mean great) if you need to understand what is profit, whats in a balance sheet, how to understand it, whats in an income statement. What are assets, etc, etc. This book will open your eyes. Like others have said its not about double entry bookkeeping, or how to prepare your balance sheet. Find that elsewhere. This book addresses what the numbers mean and how to follow them to come to conclusions and how to use that information.

Let me put it this way. If you have a small business, or are put into a position where you need to manage money for a business, or need to buy a business. This book will help you if your not accountant savy.

Its a great book, and is very well written. Another five star success for the dummies series.




Accounting for Dummies > Customer Review #2:
Adequate as a non-accountants everyday reference

The content is simple with material presented in the usual dummie tradition. It works great as a quick way to understand hard concepts, without going into too much distracting detail. A good reference for people who interface with accountants or accounting departments, but accounting students will find that the material is not detailed enough for cases covered in a typical accounting course. Is it the feel good accounting book of the year? I dunno...but like any other dummies book, buy it for the funny cartoons.


Accounting for Dummies > Customer Review #3:
Very Good book for Financial and Mangerial Accounting

This is a great book for a person to use to suplment what is learned and practiced in Both entry level college accounting classes. It really will help you get a better grade in the class by reinforcing and explainations that are different then your typical college textbook. I highly reccomend this book for any college student that will be taking accounting, it is well worth its price and I believe if read during the semester along with the practice in your class you will get a better grade. I did.
