1.0 out of 5 stars
Don't bother...,
This review is from: Financial and Business Statements (Barron's Financial & Business Statements) (Paperback)
This series of books has generlly been good; however, this title was a bit of a let down. In particular, the financial statement presentation was so general (and dated) that it was diffcult to translate it to current trends in financial reporting.
I ended up paging through it wihout ever taking the time to read it. I would have liked some industry specific information.
3.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Financial and Business Statements (Barron's Financial & Business Statements) (Paperback)
I thought this book would provide information on what to look for when examining financial statements, it didn't. It's an ok reference book, but not too far from what you'd find in a text book.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent reference, clearly written, NO humor a plus,

This review is from: Financial and Business Statements (Barron's Financial & Business Statements) (Paperback)
Though I am in my fifties, I am new to business statements having never had to be involved with them in my career. Now I am interested in making intelligent investments and need to understand not only the bottom line but all those other lines as well.
This book is concise, uses many examples, clearly defines terms and goes into the reasoning that determines how information is presented in business statements. You will be able to understand as well the ratios that appear in analyst reports such as those put out by Standard and Poor's. Wonderfully free of the attempts to be funny that pollute so many texts these days, no words are wasted. This work should be on the bookshelf of anyone involved with business.
