Reviews

[Thomas Burke · Rating 4 out of 5]

Took awhile to get to the good stuff, but very interesting when it did. I’m curious what the book would have looked like if the author continued his research. The book has less value with today’s taxes as schedule A is not as important due to the TCJA. Interesting read non the less.
