Hi Folks:

  I am complete novice to double entry accounting. I have GnuCash successfully 
installed:

$ gnucash --version
GnuCash 5.5
Build ID: 5.5+(2023-12-16)

on:

OpenBSD 7.5 GENERIC.MP#82 amd64

Can anyone recommend some good books or tutorials on double entry acoounting? I 
searched the arcchives but did not find any posts on recommended books. I have 
ordered this book:

Accounting QuickStart Guide : The Simplified Beginner's Guide by Josh Small.

I am opening a fabric store in early May and want to use GnuCash to keep track 
of my sewing fabric sales and inventory. It's pretty modest. About 280 
individual items. Are there any examples of *.gnucash files I can use as a 
template?

Kind regards,



I do not profess to more knowledgeable than anyone else, but, I believe 
that you need to access books, documentation, and/or tuition, applicable 
to your location, as different countries and regions have different 
applicable laws relating to acceptable accounting practices, and to tax 
laws, which are an integral part of accounting practices.


I am an unqualified lay person, but, such is my belief.

Hi Jonathan, I found a great set of accounting documents at 
https://openstax.org/subjects/business#Accounting%20and%20Finance

The PDFs are completely free (no strings) to download, and the 2 accounting 
documents helped me with a couple of difficult concepts.

All the best
Eric
