Introduction to Bookkeeping
Principles of Bookkeeping Controls

These were the first books that we published, and they have been updated to reflect a number of changes:

1. Improved readability
2. Improved compatibility in style with later books.
3. Change in book size to enable them to be ordered through other bookshops
4. Some inconsistencies (mostly involving the scenario in ITBK) were removed
5. Some errors were corrected

Both study guides are available in both print and for Kindle (print replica).

Second editions of PCTN and BUAW are expected to follow by the end of June, although changes will be much more limited, as steps 1-2 (above) are unnecessary for these books. The main change will be a change in book size, to enable wider ordering for customers.
