Talk:Bookkeeping

This book is based on the volume "Bookkeeping", part of the "International Library of Technology" originally published by the "International Textbook Company" in 1904. I am working from the 1905 edition. This series was discontinued, and replaced with "Bookkeeper's Handbook" published in 1910 and 1920.

This volume contains the following books, originally published individually by the "International Correspondence Schools":

• Single-Entry Bookkeeping
• Double-Entry Bookkeeping
• Opening, Closing, and Changing Books
• Corporation Organization and Bookkeeping
• Elements of Cost Accounting
• Bank Bookkeeping

This version is derived from my LaTeX sources for a nearly facsimile edition. That edition will be made available at Wikisource and Project Gutenberg when it is finished. Rather than scanning the pages, I am writing code to reproduce all figures and illustrations, so this might take a little while :)

In the mean time, I want to make the text available (what I have finished anyway).

Since LaTeX can produce images of the various figures, those images will be used for now. When the bulk of the text is complete the images will be replaced with wiki/html code where possible.

This is my first Wikibook, so if you see something you can improve, don't be shy.

Are you pursuing this?

I was just wondering if Ian is still working on this, or if he's moved on to other things. Thank you, 64.181.88.170 00:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

User:ipb's contributions to Wikisource and Wikibooks ended in Dec. 2005, so it would appear he has abandoned this project. See Special:Contributions/Ipb and b:Special:Contributions/Ipb. John Vandenberg 05:27, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Continuing the work..

The series appears to be OCLC 8804309^{all editions}, and based on the information above, it appears to be OCLC 13579615^{all editions}, OCLC 16134260^{all editions} or OCLC 41859355^{all editions}. Archive.org has some texts (1901) that may be used [1][2] John Vandenberg 05:27, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
