Financial Decision Making : A CPA/Attorney's Perspective

Rating:
Summary: Look intelligent when speaking with financial types...
Review: The book is an easy read. Once you get past the author's editorial comments and feeble attempts at humor, the book provides a great overview of financial concepts and how they apply to business decisions. This book enabled me to put my engineering and marketing bias aside and develop a much better understanding of the financial impact of business decisions. However, I still doubt I will ever be friendly with the CFO. One of the author's comments confused me a bit. He suggests leaving the book in the pocket of an airplane seat for someone else to read when I'm done with the book. Wouldn't this be bad for the author financially?
