Nolo's Quick LLC.: All You Need to Know About Limited Liability Companies
$29.99
I had high hopes for this book but it did not meet my expectations. The book does a decent job explaining the difference between an LLC and other entities like C corp, S corp, general partnerships, etc. However, it does not get to the point about (1) steps needed to file an LLC and the common paradigm of filing in Nevada / Delaware and then registering in your home state, (2) choosing where to file for LLC, or (3) ongoing legal and financial care and feeding of the LLC so you do not "pierce the corporate veil." Basically, the book is very light on specifics and does not justify its price. I am returning it, hoping to find a more thorough guide.

LLC OR CORPORATION? How to Choose the Right Form for Your Business
$24.99
He discusses California. It costs $800/year to maintain an LLC, plus, they apparantly tax gross income. It's hard to understand advantages of the LLC in California for a small start up. Why not just form an S corporation? Anyway, an excellent book, and, I am still studying it. I would buy it again.
