[GNC] Using GnuCash as an Accounting Tutor

[john]

The only book I know about is https://www.packtpub.com/product/gnucash-24-small-business-accounting-beginners-guide/9781849513869. The GnuCash version is obviously a bit old but the general operation of GnuCash hasn't changed.

Regards,
John Ralls
