I find the Dummies series to be quite educational. If I wanted to learn about cooking or about sports, I can read a book designed around the topic.

Increasing my knowledge of accounting can help me invest or even save money.

Can't get much better.

I skipped around in this book and read the items that mattered to me at this point. I like that I can skip around in the book. This is a great desk reference for a quick laymans explanation.

Some helpful ideas to get me started. Geared to business accounting as opposed to nonprofit organizations.
This a great study guide. I love how it contains so much, but is so little.
