An Excellent Primer on Trusts

Great reference book for new practitioners!
I have only purchased this book tonight, yet not on Amazon.com.I actually went to Borders and paid full price.Reason being, I could not wait to get my hands on a reference book to help me conceptualize projects and cases that I presently deal with at work as a new estate and tax planning attorney.I hear about ABC trusts, GST trusts, Living Trusts, just to name a few, every day.Yet I don't have the slightest idea about the particular mechanics of many of these valuable estate planning and tax saving tools.
Written in Legaleeze...got a better book for you
Read "Beyond the Grave, The Right Way and the Wrong Way of Leaving Money to Your Children" instead of this book or before you read this book.I bought both and gave up on this book after a couple chapters.Itwas a struggle to get through.Very dry, written like a tech manual, areal sleeper.Go read the reviews on Amazon for Condon's book beforedeciding which one to order.Trust me, you want the other book. ...

valuable quick reference
Although the graphics seem simplistic at first glance, they make the information easy to grasp. I had several "ah-ha, I get it" moments when browsing for information. I actually enjoyed looking at this code reference. That's a first!

Painful on the Surface, but Needed and Well Done
Taxes? Ouch! It's rather like going to the dentist. A necessary evil. Most of us small business owners love the profits, but cringe at the taxes. Uncle Sam can be intimidating and a book like this can help overcome the fears, while explaining the options. It answers most of the FAQ's we face and does so in a thorough and easy to understand manner. I will probably refer to it many times as various tax issues arise.

You'll be happy you bought it!
This is an exceptionally well-written and practical book on small business taxation and a very good starting point for anyone who is interested in learning how to keep good business records.

Best Small Business & Tax Book I Ever Read
I LOVE THIS BOOK.I am recommending it to ALL my clients.It is, truly, the most readable and enjoyable business/tax book I have ever read.May it help small business owners everywhere.It's full of bite size practical advice that you can put into practice to keep improving your business.All the bites together make up a feast for the entrepreneur who needs to get it done right with no time to do it.I am an accountant and tax professional who manages my own business and advises entrepreneurs and nonprofits.This book is my guide to running my own business and gives me help in my work of helping my clients.Thank you, Tax Mama!Your warmth, humor and in the trenches wisdom comes through on every page.

One for your Personal Library
Here is a book you can refer to forever.Good stuff to know.
Become an Informed Driver
This book was very knowledgeable on the ways cops obtain your speed as well as the faults in the types of ways they obtain it. Along with using correct and "street" terminology, it talks about the different types of radar used to pick up your speed and how they obtain your speed by pacing you. There are MANY faults and this book just confirms my prior thoughts that tickets are purely a money making scam not only for the police but for the insurance agencies as well. If nothing else buy it to be prepared when you do get pulled over as it gives you good tips on how to get away from a ticket at this early stage to. 4 out of 5 only because it does not list laws from every state just some laws from some states.

Must have for freelance designers!
In starting out and gathering information it's hard to determine what books will be helpful. This is great. It is filled with tear out forms you can make copies of and use over and over. Great information. And the CD-ROM includes all the forms in pdf format, as well as Pagemaker and Quark XPress so that you can make changes to fonts and style, logo additions, and more, to suit your own home business.Files are compatible with Mac and IBMC platform, which is great for me being a designer working mostly on an IBM computer. Excellent book!

It's a $29.95 Lawyer!!
Our small graphic design firm had been relying on the legal forms and contracts from this book for about one year. Finally, we decided that perhaps we ought to visit with a lawyer to make sure we were doing it right...$560.00 later for an initial consultation, we realized that this $29.95 book was the best business investment we'd ever made! The lawyer confirmed that the contracts that we had been using were airtight and were great (he had a few other pointers...but, none worth $560.00). Buy it, you won't be sorry.
This book has EVERYTHING you need ... and then some.When you think you're not going to need one of the forms in this book, you later realize that YOU DO! As a freelance artist, using these forms made me feel as though clients noticed that they were dealing with a real professional.Absolutely a great investment. ... Read more

Little value...but $30 may be worth it.
The pictures and "instant facts" made the cases much easier to remember.HOWEVER: When I reviewed for finals and used these case briefs to refresh in my mind cases I had read, I discovered MANY critical typos.For example, in several cases, the synopses labeled the wrong parties as "P" (the plaintiff).We law students love to throw money at anything we hope will give us an edge.And I suppose any cost is justified if viewed from the proper perspective.This $30 book should increase your understanding of your $15,000 semester roughly 0.2%.It's simple math and economics.Ha ha.Not a bad book if you run out of time to study...otherwise stick to Aspen Law's Examples and Explanations.

Truly a good primer
This is the only book I found that actually explained everything in its table of contents in a way that I could understand.This is an excellent book for a total beginner just trying to understand the basic issues of thin capitalization rules, deductions vs. exemptions vs. credits, double taxation, tax sparing, tax havens, etcetera. ...

All Around Good Introduction To Business Law
Well written book that provides a good introduction into business law principles. Outlines complex concepts with case law that makes it easy to understand. A reccomended read for the pre-law students as well as a valuable reference for business owners.

Condition of Text
The text was torn. The cover was horrible and it had so much writing in it. It was the wrong text. I typed the IBSN, why would that book show up. I was very disappointed in this purchase.

Business Law Explained for the Intelligent Layman
I was given this book for free by someone who had used it for a college course and didn't want it. I couldn't believe the person wanted to throw it away. This book tells all the basics of business law. If you don't know anything about business law, read it. It is a good book for beginners. I know I will keep it for a reference book for a long time. I am starting my own business and I refer to it all the time. Not only does the book tells just about everything you need to know about business law, it gives actual descriptions of court cases to illustrate the points of each section. A very good buy & an excellent reference book! ... Read more

One of the best in the series!
I'm a law student and a big Nutshell fan. This is definitely one of the best Nutshells in the series. It's clear, it's organized, and it covers a broad array of issues in corporate governance and operation. I think it would make a better text than the bulky casebooks we're forced to carry around. It's a must-have for law students, aspiring corporate lawyers, and anyone needing a quick reference on general corporate law.
