Having spent an entire fall with this book I will never give it up. Riveting reading w/ witty terminology and one-liners, e.g., referring to debt as "A fiscal utopia that has yet to be achieved", sole proprietorships as "tax-nothing's" and certain court ruling passages as "now classic excerpt"s. The laughs go on and on in this comprehensive picture of formation, operation and liquidation of partnerships. BONUS: at the end you get the entire picture of flow-throughs with an entire chapter on S-corps. A must read for anyone interested in these "tax-something's".
