$18.95
This book was somewhat useful, but emphasized taxes and a larger business (with office space) too much. It also seems dated.

The book was supposed to be shipped within 1 to 2 days, but instead was postmarked 1 week after. I ordered several books at the same time from different vendors and this book was the last to arrive over 1 week after the others. The quality of the book also was low in that the pages were bent and the cover had corners that were bent as well. I would never buy from this vendor again.
