Unnecessarily verbose. I thought it would be filled with examples of real businesses and relatable examples - but found it to be about hypothetical businesses - sure, it’s better to have that than pure business models, but I found this book dry. Would not recommend.
Better book, and more concise is “Accounting Made Simple” by M Piper.
