I'd rather read the Tax Code

This book was difficult to read, often wandering off on a tangent. I know the subject of taxes can be difficult but this text made topics that I was already familiar with seem confusing again. Each chapter has several examples, many of which were helpful. But many were also not clearly explained and a few made me wonder if the paragraph was truely finished. If you have a choice, pick up some tax software and a quickfinder guide to go with this class.

Makes the mundane readable.

One of the better written tax textbooks. Will actually NOT put you to sleep when you read it. Easy to understand examples.

Great tax information

I am using this book in my Federal tax accounting class. I have more about taxes from this book than I have ever in my whole life. Great tax examples and many resources to solve each problem.

Good but Overdone.

The Text provides a good treatment of federal taxation. But it was a bit over done instead of getting to the point. Good preparation fot the CPA exam.

Concise descriptions of a variety of American fads

Hoffman and Bailey have compiled a couple hundred brief descriptions of fads from the United States. The focus is on fads from the last 50 years. There isn't any analysis of what fads really are, or what makes them happen, but it's interesting reading. It's enjoyable for anyone interested in fads, but I particularly recommend it for younger readers.

Basic, but easy to read

I'm a CRNA who has been practicing for one year. I was put in a positon to perform primarily cardiac anesthesia. I purchased this book to enhance what I learned in school and at work.

I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who understands the basics of cardiac anesthesia. It is more of a reference for those who are in their residency or first years of anesthesia.

Overall there are probably more comprehensive texts, but it only took me about 4 hrs. to read through this text and I'm not a fast reader.
