5.0 out of 5 stars A very useful book. It saved me money., November 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 60 Minute Tax Planner (Hardcover)

Unlike most attorney's, Ed Lyon gets right to what the reader wants from a tax advice book - how to save money.

Well laid out, useful, informative and even funny, I enjoyed this book as much as I found it helpful.

Doing your taxes bites. It was nice to find a book that helped me bite back.
