The authors of this book, respected widely as accounting professors and as cheese analysts, brilliantly combine the keener points of e-business accounting and cheese analysis.

Just finished reading, marking, dog-earing this book! This is an excellent sourcebook for anyone, particularly business professionals, who want perspective on e-Commerce and e-Business. In fact, I wonder if the book has been mis-titled somewhat. In this five-chapter book, only the last chapter or two is directed to helping accountants and other assurance-service professionals understand their position in the e-Business space. The first three chapters are worth the price of the book to anyone interested in a fast, but in-depth, overview of how e-Business has emerged, its basic technology, and where it is likely headed. I particularly enjoyed the authors' effort to incorporate a lot of specific examples of successful and not-so-successful companies. The footnotes and references to each chapter are also extraordinary! Like most of us in the human race, I don't often read the footnotes. However, with this book, I was marking and crosschecking references with abandon. We're all struggling to "keep up" with the e-Business race. As I read this book, I felt like I finally fully understood a number of key issues of e-Business-despite having been a CFO of a fast-moving e-Commerce startup! I certainly recommend this read to anyone who feels that they might be slipping a little in "the race."

I was saddened to learn this book was out of print. If you can't find a copy at your bookstore, hunt it down in your library. Glover's prose is droll and intelligent. He writes books the way books should be written.

I heard Mr. Glover's "Why I Decided to Kill Myself and Other Jokes" read during a college radio show, and I promptly engaged in a hunt for other works by him. I found "Dog Attempts to Drown Man in Saskatoon," and these stories failed to disappoint me. His wickedly humorous and profound style rules his pen. If you enjoy Calvin and Hobbes, there exists a very good chance you will treasure Douglas Glover.
