5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, September 30, 2003

By	Stephen Northcutt (Kauai, HI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I paid Amazon about $250.00 for this book six months ago and it is worth every penny. I am not a CPA so I can only read 30 - 40 pages at a time and then my head starts swimming.

However, I am a senior manager at a company whose value is almost 100% dependant on our intellectual property and intangible assets and this book has been my guide in setting policy. I take it with me on every plane flight (about every two weeks) and re-read a section.
