The Ultimate Accountant's Reference, 3rd Edition by Steven Bragg

I apologize for the name -- somebody in Wiley's marketing department came up with it!  Nonetheless, the name is also accurate, because I stuffed an enormous amount of information into this 783-page monster.  My intent was to create something so valuable for practicing accountants that they would need to park it on their desks at all times for reference purposes.  Given the rapidly changing state of accounting information, this book is reissued with new information on a regular basis.
