- "American Reference Books Annual" (review of the first edition)
" For any person, from student to practicing professional, who needs accurate, clearly stated, yet brief definitions of accounting terminology, this book is a must. The well-phrased definitions are not burdened by an insider's jargon; Dr. Estes writes as a teacher wishing to instruct the reader. He uses such supplementary aids as line drawings, journal entries, and liberal cross-references to similar or related terminology, making the book highly usable." - "American Reference Books Annual" (review of the first edition)
