I hope you will excuse some self-promotion, but the third edition of my book Basic Accounting Principles for Lawyers is now available.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the book, it’s a short, introduction to accounting principles and the accounting environment. It’s aimed at students (and lawyers) who know nothing about accounting; I try to keep the discussion as light and non-technical as possible, with a little humor sprinkled here and there. It's intended to be used as a supplement in courses that draw on accounting, but you can also use it to pick up some accounting on your own without falling asleep. (No guarantees.)

Support a starving artist and buy a copy.
