1.0 out of 5 stars This "pamphlet" is the worst book I ever bought., September 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Smart Tax Write-Offs: Hundreds of Tax Deduction Ideas for Home-Based Businesses, Independent Contractors, All Entrepreneurs (Paperback)

I bought this book because of the catchy title. The book is 120 pages long with very trivial tax tips. On top of that, almost haft of the book is blank space. I bought this book with certificate. Now, I got stuck with "smart" book. Oh well, smart for the author, stupeeed of me.

1.0 out of 5 stars For Those Who Appreciate A Flare For the Obvious, September 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Smart Tax Write-Offs: Hundreds of Tax Deduction Ideas for Home-Based Businesses, Independent Contractors, All Entrepreneurs (Paperback)

This book (It's really more of a pamphlet) is all of 65 pages in length (Actually it's not even "all of" 65 pages -- There's a lot of conspicuous double spacing as well as a blank page in each chapter for "Notes"). The remaining 56 pages contain mostly silly checklists as well as the index. The information provided is basic and, in most cases, extremely obvious. If you're looking for some really interesting ideas, this is not the place to look. This is the type of information you will find in just about any mainstream magazine around tax time.
