What a contrast - Practical Accounting & A Boy's Memories of the 40's

I have written two books; "Cover Your Nut", Practical Accounting in Plain English for the Real World and "Gibbon's Secrets", A Boy's Memories of the 40's.

"Cover Your Nut" 
Introduction by R.G. Bud Phelps-
     We would all like to be able to magically know which business we should start on our own, 
     which business would make us the most money, 
     which business would be the easiest to control,
     how we should set up our business to give us all the information that we need,
     and, most importantly, how do we "Cover Our Nut"? ? ? 


I have been involved in accounting and management for approximately 50 years and luckily have been involved in various different types and styles of businesses.  I worked at a public accounting firm while attending college, and therefore had the opportunity to gain experience in general small business accounting and auditing, and also participated in the establishment of a cost system in a manufacturing company.  These experiences led me to my first accounting job in a manufacturing company in Colorado, the Jolly Rancher Candy Company.  From that point in time, little did I realize that my business experience would include the following: a candy manufacturing company, a cellophane printing company, a snack food company, an interior decorating and furniture sales company, a camper and trailer manufacturing company, a mobile home manufacturing and sales company, a water well drilling company, and ammunition manufacturing company, and a pet product manufacturing and marketing company.  I have also been involved in establishing accounting and cost system programs for many different types of businesses, from a service business to a manufacturing business and several in between.  These experiences have always come back to the very important fact which is the title to this book, "Cover Your Nut".  I don't want to ruin the book for you by carrying on; so I'll simply advise you to go on line and order your copy from "Amazon", "Barnes & Noble,  AuthorHouse, or your local book store.  The book is available in both paperback and as an ebook.


Forward for "Gibbon's Secrets":
Many of the incidences in this story are true, but there are also some, although strictly Fictional, definitely are appropriate for the time frame of the 1940's.  Many of the individual characters in the story were truly a part of this story but some of them are fictional, and their resemblance to actual individuals is strictly coincidental.  Some of the names have been purposely changed or added to the story to complete the fictional picture.  With the 'Great Depression' nearing its end, and the war in Europe appearing to be getting stronger; the small town of Gibbon, in the middle of Nebraska, acquired a look of change.

Like I said above:
