I ran across a copy of the 3e of Reading Financial Reports for Dummies.

I suspect that the recent major changes in accounting like Revenue Recognition, Leasing, Audit Reports, will limit the usefulness of the Schaums review series. However the Dummies book above is quite handy addressing both accounting and finance issues. I plan to make it mandatory for the fall for intermediate students. It is available for 12.925 in the Kindle Edition.
