I took an accounting class last year and shamefully failed! I just could not understand the basic concepts to get from chapter to chapter. College Accounting classes for some reason expect you to have some basic understanding but I didn't and I'm sure there are many like me. So I bought this and other book to see if it would help. So far this is the only book that I understand. And everything seems to make sense to me now. I would recommend this book to anyone who's planning on taking an accounting course for the first time. I plan on retaking the class and now I feel confident going back in. THANK YOU MR.PIPER!!!

This book gives you a quick tour of the ins and outs of accounting. Great introduction on the basics and keeps it simple. Short enough to be read in a day. I highly recommend this to any one looking for a crash course in accounting.

Not sure about the book but the Kindle sample sure is useless
Kindle sample is merely the table of contents plus one page. Not useful for evaluating if a purchase is worthwhile.

A book and topic perfect for the Kindle
The book is written in very accessible English. The language doesn't make you feel inferior, but is not complex for someone who has little accounting background. Read more
