Читать книгу Financial Statements - Ittelson Thomas - Страница 3

Many people helped make this book possible. My special thanks go to Isay Stemp, who first showed me that knowing a little finance and accounting could be fun; to my agent, Michael Snell, who taught me how to write a book proposal; and to Lisa Berkman, whose encouragement was invaluable as I drafted this revised and expanded edition.

Many thanks to my publisher, Ronald Fry of Career Press, for seeing promise in a preliminary version of this book and to Kristen Parkes, editorial director for Career Press, for her guiding of this book through to publication.

Again with this second edition, as was the case with the first, I am indebted to my colleague Jack Turner for his thoughtful review of the words and numbers in this book. Also a special thanks to Graham Eacott for his careful reading and correction of the first edition.

These clients, colleagues and friends at one time or another helped me to develop (whether they realized it or not) the concepts presented in this book. My thanks to Gwen Acton, Marci Anderson, Molly Downer, Tim Duncan, Cavas Gobhai, Jack Haley, Katherine Leahey, Paul McDonough, Lita Nelsen, Paul O’Brien, Mel Platte, and Iruna and Chris Simmons.
