To the point Financial Accounting
The best way to describe the book is to learn the main point of financial accounting in about 5 hours. There are multiple ways to read or listen to the book. I selected both to read as well as get the audio book to listen to while I was busy doing other things.

Not Recommended
If you can brave wading through the exorbitant amount of chapter references and assumptions of being a student there are some decent pieces of information to be found here. As far as this being for dummies, you know how in movies or books the main characters bully will call them a dummy? That is the same context here. The writing is bored and feels as though it is beneath the writer. Maybe that is a result of being an accountant. This book has seriously made me reconsider purchasing any more books in the dummy series and just buy regular books in order to avoid all of the bloat. I would not recommend this book.

Ordered a brand new book, it came very used
There is a major crack in the spine in the back and the front was creased, so there is no way this book was damaged during shipping, it was used when it left.

Doesn’t read like other Dummies books
Bough this book as a supplement to my accounting textbook, to help understand the concepts better. I am a huge fan of the Dummies books, they are my go to very frequently because of their format and knack at explaining concepts, etc. Apparently, financial accounting is their kryptonite. This book was just as bad, if not worse than, my textbook, and many of the apparently (according to my textbook) common accounting terms and practices weren’t even in there. (Looked in the index, not there) Even the format of the book doesn’t feel as “welcoming” and accessible as the Dummies series usually does. If Dummies can’t make accounting fun, I don’t know if it can be done.
