Summary: Super
Review: I have 2 masters degrees - I have not come across a book that does such a good job of explaining the fundamentals.
Additionally, the format of the book - read and answer questions 'fill in the blanks' style, helps you remember what you read.
If you want to get a great start in accounting, get this book.

Summary: Outstanding introduction to acounting basics
Review: I routinely use accounting in my investing activities as well as my management activities and I have found this to be among the most insightful short accounts out there. Plenty of detail is provided and the programmed teaching format is highly effective. Although simple in its approach, it also has one of the best overall approaches to accounting that I have seen. Most accounting books make it difficult to see the forest for the trees. This book is just the opposite: it starts by showing you the forest. Highly recommended to those who need a good knowledge of accounting but do not wish to become accountants.

Summary: Perfect as an introduction book!
Review: The book is required in our class of Finance as an introduction to the accounting system. It's quite easy to understand all the principles by doing the exercises yourself. And the special design of reverse printing and post tests are a big help. I had accounting class before and was often confused with debits and credits of whatever assets or liablities and equity. However, when I'm doing this book, everything is clear - there's considerable details to explain how to debit or credit any accounts. Simple introduction of non-profit organizations' financial statement also quite useful. Strongly recommended.

Summary: Great introduction to accounting
Review: This is a solid easy to follow introduction to accounting. The repetitive fill-in the blank format can be annoying at first, but really helps one remember the basic principles of accounting. I was somewhat surprised by the "mad-libs" like approach to the material, but it definitely works.I read this book before taking an introduction to financial acocounting class and found it very valuable.
