Gary knows how to explain a complex topic.

Do you know your ABC’s?
I bought this book to get an understanding of Active-Based cost management. The theory came out in a time of many conflicting Project management and product flow theories. Just as with all the conflicting diet books of the time. The management in the factory I worked suggested I read this book and extrapolate anything useful. Then we can apply what worked and not swallow the whole thing at any cost.The book gives a clear message and plenty of diagrams to support the reading. It should be a must read for any systems analyst.

The authorative work on ABC/ABM
I am implementing ABC/ABM in a medium sized multinational company, and this is required reading for my teams. I've read most of the comprehensive ABC/ABM books, and this is by far the best. Gary explains the concepts very clearly and then lays out a detailed and well thought out strategy for implementation. The book is also loaded with illustrations that are literally a blueprint for making ABC/ABM work. If you're doing ABC/ABM this is a must.
