Book on personal accounting for not-dummies?

There was some discussion back in March about accounting for stock
received when a company spins off a division.  I never did really see a
resolution.  I'm thinking that there must be an accepted method of
accounting for such events, which we only need translate into GnuCash
terms.

Would anyone care to suggest a book on *personal* financial accounting, or
somewhere I might look for one?  I took one accounting course in college
(twice :-) so I have some notion of the basics and the terminology, but
the course was from the perspective of someone aspiring to work for a
giant multinational or one of the Big Accounting Firms and the textbook
spends its time on stock your employer issues, not stock you buy.
