This is a great primer for those starting their own business.
The basic single entry accounting method is well-explained in this book. Each chapter is divided to introduce account types, ways to document transactions (in and out) and basic charts to help you get started. All the tips provided will ensure your CPA (still recommended for tax prep) is able to understand the structure of accounts and the thought process used.
The book is well-written, so the average Joe can pick it up and read through it in a day (I read on and off throughout a day). After that, it can easily be used as a quick reference guide due to the great chapter division. Each section can be referred to as required without the hassle of looking through multiple sections for an answer.
I also purchased Keeping the Books: Basic Recordkeeping and Accounting for the Successful Small Business (Keeping the Books) as a second book to solidify my learning. I am only partially through the second book, but all the review I’ve gone though is setting well.

What a waste!
The title of this book should not be allowed to use the term “accounting.” There are a plethora of very inexpensive computerized accounting systems for small businesses. I purchased Simply Accounting from Best Software and was looking for a text to supplement my knowledge to assist me in implementing the system. This mechanized accounting system from Best works beautifully and then I discover this accounting book uses “single-entry accounting” which in my opinion doesn’t even exist except in the author’s mind or can’t be defined that I am aware of. This book comprises a system of manual forms to manage your business and as I said before, should not be able to use accounting in its title. At least label it something like “Use Manual Forms to Manage Your Business.”
