This little gem is extremely lucid and -- dare I say -- fun to read.
Consider this book the best $20 investment you'll make this year.
Whether you're a 1st year MBA, stockbroker, or lawyer -- or just someone who wants to learn how to read the 10Ks/Qs you get in the mail -- this book has something for you.
A fantastic book! October 23, 2005

I found this book on my own before going to get my MBA and was always a bit embarrased to admit that I had learned more from this book than any other (it's design makes it look a bit elementary). I was pleasantly surprised to see that my Finance professor at the MBA program (Babson - the #1 entrepreneurship program 11 years running) brought it out on the first day and said it was a "must" for any businessperson's library!
It is a fantastic resource - don't let the look fool you!
If you want to understand how financial reports work, this book is for you! July 19, 2005

I took an accounting course my freshman year in college and thought it was the most dull class I had ever taken so I barely went to class and struggled my way through. Three years later I had an internship with a hedge fund working as an analyst so I needed to freshen up on my financial report reading skills. Someone in my office suggested this book and I am extremely thankful that they did because it was a tremendous help! It gives you a very strong (though probably basic) understanding of how to read AND understand a balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows. Not only does the book go through each of these elements of a financial report seperately, it also shows how they are all interrelated and connect to one another, giving one a better understanding of the big picture. I would definitely recommend this to someone who does not have a very solid background in accounting or understanding of financial reports.

i have a limited knowledge of accounts, & this book was absolutely brilliant in bringing me up to speed with the basic mechanics, rather than the whys of it all. The lucid manner in which the subject matter is explained hinges on the graphical layout employed allowing you to become involved in the process.
It does not set out to be exhaustive & other books should be used for in depth studies (eg identifying suspicious activities). It is however excellent in accomplishing precisely what it sets out to achieve and brings life to the numbers. All it needs now is a color edition, enabling more complex modelling.

This book is excellent in the following ways : -succeeds in explaining in a concise (+- 100 pages) and clear way the basic principles of financial statements.
-the special format of the book is excellent in that it shows most examples and related text without having to turn the pages.
-there is enough white space, allowing you to make annotations. Strongly adviced for anybody owning a company or for management / accounting students.
