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?

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
