I did a quick browse of what's available at Amazon.com; there does not seem to
be anything overtly relevant, as things specialize really quickly.
For instance, you'll find literature targeted at would-be professional
accountants, at would-be professional bookkeepers, and such; there are guides
specifically for users of "Quick-whatever." There is a dearth of "general
accounting" material.
There is an "Accounting for Dummies" title; reviews are critical as it is
apparently deficient in treatment of the bookkeeping side.
[Plug] There _is_ a fair bit of material on this in the documentation in CVS;
I'm about half-convinced that many people wind up asking for a book because
they've never actually looked at the documentation that's there. I could be
wrong; feel free to point out major features or areas of accounting that aren't
addressed at all in the docs...
