Great Book, long shipping 5 out of 5 stars.

The book is great, but book took almost a month to get to me. Good thing my class does not start until October or else this book would have been pointless to get since it took so long.

Great taxation book, quick shipping! 5 out of 5 stars.

Great user-friendly taxation book. It is very easy to read, and explanations are clear and help you to understand the concepts. Book was true to description (NEW). Shipping was fast, received earlier than the estimated delivery date.

Comprehensive 5 out of 5 stars.

I think it lacks good practice problems that are comprehensive and that encompass more than one issue. It would be better if there were more visual representations of IRS forms. Overall the text itself is easy to understand and studying is easy as it is organized well.

Much more engaging than you'd expect from a tax guru 4 out of 5 stars.
11 of 13 people found this review helpful.

If you get a kick out of the legal writers who make no attempt to hide their arrogance (Scalia comes to mind), then you will enjoy reading Professor Marv. You get the feeling that he often wonders to himself what it's like to be stupid.

Even if you don't take to his "burdened genius" persona, it won't prevent you from seeing new ways of looking at concepts in addition what your casebook provides. He wrote this as a "universal supplement," and has taken care to avoid a retread of any of the major texts.

Unlike previous editions, according to the author, this one has a Q & A section at the end of every chapter. They're useful exercises, especially since they have answers and explanations, unlike most casebooks.

Taking Income Tax? Buy this book! 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I strongly, strongly recommend this book for any law student taking an income tax course who has no experience in accounting. I read this book in the beginning of the class- it's relatively short and incredibly readable- and it made the actual class a breeze. Like most law school subjects, it's easy to lose the forest for the trees, and starting off with this book will let you understand how things fit together before you start slogging through- and get lost in- the Code.

As a corollary to that, this book is basically useless as an exam prep; it's too much of a general survey of the topic, and if you're using this to prep for your final you are in deep trouble. However, if you just signed up for tax in the winter term, buy this book and read it over break- it'll take you a day or two, and you'll be glad you did.

Editorial Review:

Softbound book with 414 pages of income tax law, cases, and principles. The book walks you through income, deductions, attribution tax accounting, and recognition of gains and losses. This study guide mirrors casebooks generally in use.

Corporate Tax for Dummies 4 out of 5 stars.
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.

This volume reduces into terms capable of being readily absorbed the application of Subchapter C. The examples and explanations are basic while conveying the needed concepts of various treatments of contributed property, boot, distributions, attribution rules, etc.

Excellent Guide for Corporate Taxation 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is an excellent book to understand Subchapter C. The order it follows is methodical. It goes to explain all the tax issues that arise from formation of the corporation (incorporation and contributions) to midlife events (dividends, redemptions) to liquidation. It deals with taxable and non-taxable reorganizations and with such interesting issues as Section 304 transactions. It is not and cannot be a complete guide to corporate taxation. it would have to be several volumes, but it accomplishes perfectly what it is meant to do. Cheryl Block did a fantastic job. the example and explanations are very useful.

Editorial Review:

A favorite among law students and professors alike, the Examples & Explanations series is ideal for studying, reviewing and testing your understanding through application of hypothetical examples. Authored by leading professors with extensive classroom experience, Examples & Explanations titles offer hypothetical questions in the subject area, complemented by detailed explanations that allow you to test your knowledge of the topic, and compare your own analysis.

A superb reference for aviation professionals & hobbiests. 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Now in a completed updated, revised and expanded second edition, Scott Hamilton's Practical Aviation Law provides complete, competent course for self-study or undergraduate study on how the legal system works with respect to aviation activities. With entertaining examples of aviation law in action, all of the recent changes to date in statutory and regulatory law are clarified, including international law. Practical Aviation Law is soundly recommended as a quick reference guide for aviation managers, private and professional aviators, flight cres, airline personnel, aircraft owners, air traffic controllers, air safety investigators, and the non-specialist general reader involved in aviation as a profession or hobby.

If you hold an FAA certificate -- you need this book! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Several years ago, while attending Emery-Riddle Aeronautical University, this book was used as our textbook for Aviation Law. To this day, anytime I get on the subject of Aviation Law, I recommend this book to anyone who holds an FAA certificate. I'm a Maintenance Supervisor for a major airline and have suggested it to my employees who have found themselves in less than desirable situations involving enforcement actions. They always come back to me with the same comment; "I wish I had read this book before I got into trouble." Learn from their mistakes - read the book before you NEED the book. It's short and to the point, you won't be sorry!

Editorial Review:

Lists basic legal concepts of American aviation and how they can be applied to everyday aviation-related situations.
