[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’ve been incorrect. “In the books” means finished, as in “Well, that’s another great season in the books.” “On the books” means officially recorded, as in “That’s the hottest day on the books.” [/quote] This.[/quote] [b]... and on the books is also a reference to business transactions or accounts[/b].[/quote] Correct. And “off the books” refers to transactions that are not legally recorded in the employment records as in “I’m going to pay you to paint this house, but it’s off the books.” Basically it’s paying someone cash and not recording it for tax purposes.
