Product Description
“Persons beginning a business may have technical knowledge, management skills, or marketing experience, but most likely no knowledge of accounting or record keeping. [He] clearly describes the basics of ledgers, balance sheets, tax forms, accounts receivable, etc. Many updated sample forms are included.”—Booklist. “A book well worth reading...exhaustive detail.”—INC Magazine.

The bookkeeping steps described are still sound. But it's so old that there is no mention of the tremendous help computer software can be. The examples used feel old-fashioned. And the prose itself feels not just out of the '70s, but even the '50s.Again, I can't fault the writer on the fundamentals of bookkeeping, but this book is TOUGH going.
 This book is showing it's age! April 28, 2000

This book was written in 1976 and does not appear to have been updated for the 1992 publication. It even states "Mechanical Equipment. In almost any type of business, an adding machine is needed"The book takes the reader through double-entry book-keeping using a paper-only system for a retail store. If this is what you want then the book is very good, if you do not fit into this catagory then do not bother buying this book!

Although this book did have some good information to share on the basics i.e. good record keeping practices and procedures. It was geared towards the retail indistry only. I found the book to be quite dated. (early 90s). It took the cash register and paper approach to record keeping as opposed to any mention of computerized systems and methods available. I'm also suspisious of the Federal tax record keeping requirements etc. As this information provided could also be out of date.

This is was a good one, I also liked organize your books in 6 easy steps, a workbook for the sole proprietor, which is easier to read, but this book gave more explanation to the record keeping process and I am glad I bought it.It's a great deal for anyone who has to maintain their own books.
