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

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. ...

everything is in there, but take it with a grain of salt.
If I had to suggest the purchase of this book I would recommend it. There is almost everything in the book about US antitrust. But some warnings are necessary. It's not for students. It's not for lawyers. Maybe scholars and judges can be interested. The author highlights what is not coherent in the body of untistrust legislation. He provides some solution but that solution turns out to be simple: stay put. On that we can debate, but for sure it's a useful check in the bugs of the system. Given the approach I would have given 5 stars if the author had provided some hints or quantitative analysis to the reader on the effects of some of the Supreme Court decisions on lower Courts and on the current management of antitrust law. ...

Way to Go Sav
This book is super-great in every way.The forms are pretty darned good, but mostly, the book itself is exactly the right thickness to level up my dining room table. So when I'm not whipping out some quick construction contract form stuff, I can enjoy a meal without the table wobbling at all. The cover is colorful too- my pet ferret likes that. Highly recommended.

Great book for biginners
I'm new in this business and this book help me to make construction forms and contract so easy.

NOT FOR THE HOMEOWNER
I purchased this book to help build my house.I am the general contactor for the job and I thought I would be able to find some form for the sub contractors to sign.This was not the case and it really wasn't any help to me at all.It might help someone who is starting their own business butnot for someone building their own house. ...

A useful book to have
I bought and read this book and there is lots of useful information here but I wish that the authors had gone further.
Simple Explanations of a Complex Tax Code
Taxes related to a small business are complex and even a little bewildering if you haven't gotten into them before. But as this book says, they're not rocket science difficult.

Excellent and to the point
This book answered all my tax and property questions quickly and precisely. It was well written and perfect for someone who is not a CPA or property specialist. Highly recommended.

Best real estate tax book. Period.
I have read a number of books about real estate tax planning, and this is by far the best.It is clear, to the point, and very readable.The author goes through the basics of how a capital gains basis is calculated, rules about stepping up basis, primary residence exclusion rules, etc.He then discusses various ways of deferring or eliminating capital gain consequences via 1031, installment sales, private annuity trusts, charitable remainder trusts and Roth IRAs.The chapter on private annuity trusts is one of the least known, yet most valuable strategies that exists.Buy this book!

Great Book!!
This book is very well written; logically organized and concise.The information is priceless!For the cost of this book you could be saving 30% of your capital gains money!That's what I call positive ROI.This book is a must have! ... Read more

Must Have if considering your own foundation
This book comes with a hefty price - I was hesitant.If you are considering the establishment of your own private foundation, this book is a must.It is fairly heavy with the legaleze, but required whenconsidering the thorough discussions of establishing and maintaining afoundation with respect to the applicable IRS tax code.Each topic isdocumented and sample tax forms are illustrated.Highly recommended -needs to be a little more user friendly for the 5th star. ...

Sarbanes-Oxley and the New Internal Auditing Rules
This book provides a comprehensive overall view on Sarbanes Oxley and other evolving internal audit standards and practices. Moeller has taken an extended view on the roles of internal auditor to include that of quality auditors for ASQ and ISO.
Disappointing!
Despite Mr. Moeller's "brand-name appeal", I must confess I found this book disappointing. The title promises too much perhaps; how can mere 300 pages cover the matter for a practitioner? Written in an informal style, it paints on a broad canvas -- the kind of material that would do well for an after dinner-talk for auditors, but most definitely lacks depth and specificity. It could be useful for students or business managers, but is unlikely to help a professional auditor much.
Comprehensive and clear
This book is essential reading for anyone involved in internal audits per Sarbanes-Oxley, including auditing professionals and senior management whose business or technical domains are affected (i.e., all senior managers). Read more

good outline
This is just about as good as the other emanuel outlines, but income tax is a diificult subject to outline.

This book is bad.
I usually like the Emanuel outlines and have found them invaluable now for eight other courses I've taken.The Taxation outline is an exception.I forced myself through the first five chapters in this book and then gave up on it, realizing that it was not adding to my general understanding of the course material or any of the little details either, for that matter.It was too hard to read and follow to be of help.

mediocre
It's a mediocre tax law outline--simply put. Buy it used, if at all. ... Read more
