Great Tool for Tax Practitioners
I consistently consult this book in my practice and refer it to others in my firm. The author provides real-world, practical advice. It is a must for your law library.

Great Guide
This book is a great guide for analyzing and determining strategies to take against the government.It's great not to have to reinvent the wheel by using the checklists and deposition questions and form complaints etc that are provided in this book as a guide. It is a book I refer to regularly in my practice and I have given it to new associates in our trial training program.

Great Resource
I bought this book after hearing the author speak at a bar conference. I was impressed. She really knew what she was talking about and she provided actual substantive materials as handouts not just outlines that you normally get from presenters. If your specializing in tax defense, this is a must-purchase. Forms, phone numbers, law and practical advice for dealing with the government are included in this book for the bread& butter types cases most tax lawyers handle. ... Read more

Is it over yet?
I don't want to insult Ricardo. He was unequivocally brilliant. But this book was painful to read. Granted, I am not an economist, so maybe this just wasn't for me. I found it dry and devoid of all emotion. I understand that it is intended to educate and to promote an economic theory, not to entertain, but God man, show your readers some mercy! I am a firm believer that if a book is too boring to read, the author's message will never get out, regardless of its merits.

Difficult To Understand The Main Issues
This text includes cases that involve a lot of the accounting numbers without a lot of explanation about the tax principles that were used in deriving the numbers. The best supplement I have found is the Eighth Edition Federal Income Taxation supplement by Stephen Lind and David Hudson put out by the Black Letter Series by the West Group recommended by my professor which was written by one of the authors of the casebook. ...

Handbook for Managers, not investors
Although helpful and well written, the book appears more appropriate for executives or managers of operating companies that may be faced with bankruptcy prospects.A good overview of how the process unfolds, players, objectives, legal issues, and procedures is provided.Managers at a financially distressed operation typically carry a different toolbox of experience and skills, and therefore, this book would be well worth the introduction to the topic.
Very practical reference, "thin" on theory and case studies
Very useful and convenient reference guide for restructuring bankers / distressed debt investors.Probably too generic for experienced bankruptcy attorneys.The text and examples are efficiently presented and the author does a superb job of distilling the bankruptcy code into an easy-to-read format.The chapter on valuation is nothing more than the common stuff you read in any corporate finance book.A case study and a more extensive discussion on bankruptcy term sheets and negotiation tactics would have made this book more praiseworthy. ...

The most thorough and educational Roth book out there
I have read many books about IRAs as well as the pages of the IRS web page pertaining to Roth IRAs.This book is the best I have read for information on the Roth IRA.Accurate and great explanations.You can use a Roth IRA to buy a house, pay for a child's education, buy a car, really anything you like as long as you withdraw only the contributions.This book explains how to do it, and much more.The Roth is so flexible you owe yourself an investigation of the options.

Good Read, Everything you ever wanted to know about Roth IRA's
After reading this book I felt like I had a very solid knowledge of Roth IRA's and how they work. Ive been a Roth IRA investor/contributor since they became law in 1998.However, one of the areas I struggled with was whether or not to

Small book with a hefty price tag...
...but well worth every penny that I spent.America's Best Tax Strategies is an introduction to legitimate ways to save on taxes.As a person who is just now becoming interested in truly generating wealth, I read this book and was amazed at how easy it was to understand the concepts introduced by the author.(They should teach this stuff in high school!)I've read other tax savings books and have gotten confused. But I suggest you read this book and if you wish to follow the strategies described, go to your local expert for more details.You could save large sums of money over the course of your lifetime.

Good to see this stuff explained
I just finished reading this book. It has lots of summaries but the ones I like best involved tax-free compounding, bonds, annuities, LTC insurance, 1031 exchanges, 412i plans, CRTs, Roth IRAs, owners-only 401k, private pensions, ILITs, and all the ones on real estate.I never knew there were so many tax breaks for real estate owners. The chapters on VUL and private pensions were a little tough to follow but the rest of them were laid out well. The chapters on charitable giving should be passed out to everyone. Updated chapters are free on a website so it's all up to date.

Helpful
material is well explained. author is CPA who actually puts it so I can understand it. ... Read more

A very useful study aid
A great book for anyone interested in U.S. mass communication law, covering topics such as First Amendment guarantees, libel and slander in mass communication, privacy, obscenity, freedom of the press, commercialspeech and FCC regulation of mass media, explained through U.S. SupremeCourt decisions (v.g., New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, Miller v.California, New York Times Co. v. United States). Specially interesting isthe discussion about content restraint of motion pictures (chapter IV) andTV (chapter XI), the latter an issue back on newspapers after a recentSupreme Court decision (United States v.
