GAAP Guide

	Wiley GAAP Guide - 2008 Edition by Barry Epstein, Ralph Nach & Steven Bragg


	Commentary:
	I wish I could claim responsibility for this beautiful 1,200 page book, but I can't -- I am only the junior author. Of the other authors, Barry Epstein is a partner with Russell Novak & Company, and is probably one of the the ultimate sources of GAAP knowledge on the planet. The other author is Ralph Nach, who is a partner in the national office of McGladrey & Pullen, where he specializes in technical consultation and the development and presentation of continuing education programs. The Wiley GAAP book has gone through 20+ editions, and is now the preferred GAAP source for more than 17,000 accountants each year.

	Reviews:
	I am a sole practitioner who has been using the Wiley GAAP Guide for many years. I find it to be an invaluable source for answering questions pertaining to GAAP issues in a clear and concise manner. I think that every practitioner needs to have a copy of the GAAP Guide in their library. -- David S. Levinson, CPA
