The title is misleading. Obviously, there are no secrets in this book. It is just a good introductory summary on small business / self-employed tax savings.
If you plan to run a business from your home, this book is a good, basic, simple introduction. However, it does not add much from the several IRS publications. Even some examples are the same encountered in public documents. But the book puts it all together for you. It even lists the relevant IRS publications and tells you how to obtain them.
The book brings simple information although it is not always successful in presenting it in a simple way. The book is acceptable and deserves 3 stars, but you should check other books before investing your time on this one.
If you want a simple overview, this is the book for you. However, if you want a more detailed book, you may try "Working For Yourself: Law & Taxes for Independent Contractors, Freelancers & Consultants" by Stephen Fishman. I did not read it, but found its table of contents at Amazon and thought it was much more detailed and well organized. It is 2 or 3 times larger and seemed a more serious book.
