Essentials of Accounting for Governmental and Not-for-Profit Organizations
Copley's Essentials of Accounting for Governmental and Not-for-Profit Organizations, 12e is best suited for those professors whose objective is to provide more concise coverage than what is available in larger texts.
Reviews
"I love that the Governmental chapters took a fictional city and followed the interconnecting journal entries and statements throughout to better illustrate how the funds tie together."
"This book is not written to easily teach yourself, which is what we have to do in my class."
"Needed by my Government course toward my CPA certification."
"I also like the supplemental materials and the online companion website that provides a sample quiz and more in depth problems to work with."
"This book should not be used as the first-time learner of governmental accounting; I feel this book is probably more like a refresher for someone who have had a governmental accounting background."
"I bought this book for college because I had to, not because I wanted to."
"I was disappointed with this book. I had to rely upon supplementary reading and information from the professor to understand key concepts."
"It looks like someone got high and just started typing like a maniac, writing down the thought of the moment with some chapter titles and subtitles thrown in just before publishing."

Les Misérables (Book Center)
An epic novel of nineteenth-century France, Les Miserables tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who works to redeem his past. While the abridgment inevitably cuts many of the intricate subplots and minor characters who enrich Hugo's vast tome, this suspenseful central plot tracing Valjean's endeavor to emerge from desperate circumstances while being pursued by the duty-obsessed Inspector Javert remains intact and comprehensible to listeners.
Reviews
"The great translator of Spanish language literature, Edith Grossman, said: "I can't say what makes a book translatable, but I do think that all texts can be translated. The question of whether or not a work is "translatable" stems from a mistaken and widely held notion that a translation is really a one-for-one set of equivalences with the original--a straightforward lexical problem--when in fact it is a rewriting of the first text. I stopped reading works in translation in the early 1980s, and didn't start up again until around 2005. According to one account, the Rose translation is almost 100,000 words longer than the 1976 Denny "translation" -- that's how much material he excised from the novel to "improve it." If you're looking to read the translation of Les Mis, that will make you feel like you are reading the original, hearing Victor Hugo's voice, then pick up Rose's translation."
"But I remember clearly that I turned to Hugo chiefly to escape my wretchedness (pun intended) in the 2.5 years compulsory military service. Today, with >30 years of life's heavy baggage accumulated, I am less unworthy and more adequate a reader because I have imbibed so much more of Hugo's spectacular offering of humanity at its worst and best. Cross checking them all as one reads along is essential to know the historical characters and the circumstantial events revolving the story with the French revolution being the chief most tumultuous and had the most far reaching impact on social divide and inequality. Thus heightening the immense task undertaken by our hero in carrying an unconscious full grown man to emerge alive at the end after navigating 4 miles of slimy putrid ditches in pitch darkness most of the journey. Despite that, my first read shook me to the core by the breadth and depth of Hugo's masterpiece on the wretched human condition and the hand of God in redeeming His elects, Jean Valjean chief amongst many in the book. As a genuine connoisseur of literature of the finest kind that I consider myself, I cannot emphasise enough to all non French speaking readers on the careful choice of the best translation and to spare no expenses for the best experience one must have. As you would pay top dollar to enjoy them so too should you for the pride and joy of classic literature, the world (Hugo in this case) has to offer to the universe. God has already shown in the story of Job, the finest men can be inflicted with life's greatest catastrophes and grief, and in the gospels that the most perfect man must walk the hardest road."
"I didn't expect to like this book as much as I do, but I think it's a new favorite of mine."
"What a behemoth but I loved every page (even Hugo's asides on poverty, politics, history, etc.)."
"The footnotes and background provided bring deep understanding of the time of the events portrayed."
"I bought this Collector's edition of Les Miserables for my grandson, Luke's, upcoming birthday."

"This book is a must read for anyone interested in starting a business or is already a business owner. Business Owners: For years, us accountants have been trying to teach our clients the business owners to run their business using the data in their accounting software and for years business owners have failed to thrive and simply manage sale to sale and payroll to payroll. I have personally witnessed these same business owners implement the stupidly simple strategy this book teaches and completely change the trajectory of their business and their financial position."
"FINALLY, Profit First is the book, the philosophy, the principles, and everything else I have been seeking to apply to the financial/accounting view of our businesses... - It's visual. - It's easy to comprehend. - It really gives you the TRUE financial picture of your business.

"This is an actionable book, and the author encourages you to take simple (sometimes not easy) steps to overcome inertia. I even went so far as to email the author with a question (how the heck can my S corp pay my taxes?!"
"The message of Mike Michalowicz’s "Profit First" is that without a relentless focus on profit, our natural inclinations will drive our businesses into boom-and-bust cycles that revenue growth alone cannot fix."

Reviews
"I'm using this book mainly to reduce my taxes since I have a relatively high income with high income taxes and this book seems to contain the most detail and various ways I can deduct my taxes. The getting started chapter goes over business types (service, retail, manufacturing), business success info and advice, business location (mall, home, rural, industrial, zoning), financing (business loan types, grants, raising capital), legal structures (sole proprietor, LLC, etc. ), I just found out he wrote a different book that only covers tax deductions - had I known this, I would have bought that book. There are so many deductions that are explained, I'm glad that I bought this book so that I don't have to hire someone to tell me and do my taxes for me. The home business chapter is my second favorite since it also has tax-specific advice about home business. This is a great book for people who already have a pretty solid traditional small business and hope to improve upon it by expanding their business through expanding sales and hiring employees. Taxes are a headache, reading this book is a headache - but that is mostly because taxes are a complicated issue for most laypeople trying to start a business."
"I probably should write this review after I've finished reading it."
"Anyone starting a small business could really use this!"
"Phenomenal book!"
"Great information for a beginner."
"this book helped me review many things im going through my accounting class and helped me learn about many things more to be one step ahead, i would really recomend this book."
"Has a lot of detail and a well structured table of contents to make searching for a particular topic a breeze."
