GIVE ME A BREAK YOU PEOPLE!!!

OK...lets get this straight.. who is going to tell me that accounts payable and accounts recievable is NOT a part of accounting??? who is going to tell me that doing taxes is NOT part of accounting.. COME ON PEOPLE.. this is probably the best accounting book with finance info there could be.. sure it doesn't get into CALCULUS.. but thats not what its suppose to do.. it is suppose to be for NON-FINANCIAL-MANAGERS!!! the people who wrote bad reviews should LOOK UP the term before saying crap..the book has got alot more accoutning stuff than the just 4 chapters... (they probably left the review thinking about a different book which would explain most of this drama) but anyways.. thats all i gotta say.......

Finally Something I Can Understand!

I am an idiot. Just a garden variety idiot, the kind of regular joe-shmoe idiot who these books are marketed for. Couple of years ago I took an expensive crash course in accounting. By the end of the first day I knew I was going to be one of the shlubs sitting in the back watching the teacher's mouth move, but not understanding a word he was saying. After that first day, I went to the bookstore, picked up this book, took it home and read the first several chapters. Next day in class I took a seat up front and looked like a genius the way I grasped all these difficult accounting concepts. I kept reading ahead of the class, not using the assigned textbook, but using the Idiot's book. Received an A in the class, and a sterling recommendation from the teacher, he said I was a 'natural' LOL! I can't even get the numbers in my address right!

Inc. Magazine rates this book highest in recent review.

I am writing this review as the person who developed this book for Macmillan General Reference. I am a book packager, and my company was contracted to develop this title, and I worked with the author, Michael Muckian in getting it written. The May 1998 Inc. magazine included reviews of seven finance and accounting books. Muckian's book was the only one to receive 5 stars. Here's what the review said: ....Muckian, a financial manager who is clearly no idiot, has written a guide that is well constructed and facilitates easy scanning of any topic that is currently driving you to distraction. Chapters 7, 8, and 9 (on accounts receivable, accounts payable, and general cash-flow issues, respectively) are particularly worth a careful read. Pay special attention to the shortcuts and red flags that are highlighted in small boxes; in many instances, they can save your company big headaches....***** (five stars)If you're looking for a basic book on how to understand and set up an accounting system for your business, this book will help you do it, and it's fun to read.
