Mr. Tracy′s book explains in plain English the meaning of the major terms used in financial statements."
The Wall Street Journal
"What distinguishes Tracy′s efforts from other manuals is an innovative structure that visually ties together elements of the balance sheet and income statement by tracing where and how a line item in one affects an entry in another."
Inc. magazine
"An excellent job of showing how to separate the wheat from the chaff without choking in the process."
Miami Herald
"A wonderful book organized logically and written clearly. For a Fool to be an effective investor, she has to know her way around a financial statement. This book will help you develop that skill. It′s the clearest presentation of many accounting concepts that this Fool has seen. "
