This is a highly informative professional book for practical tax and legal matters related to executive retirement benefits. [Condition of the Item] I purchased this for work and study and have referenced it several times. There are minor scratches on the cover and some signs of use, but it is in perfectly readable condition. There are no torn pages or noticeable stains inside. I believe this is a good value for those who intend to use it in practice or for writing papers. [Regarding Purchase] Instant purchase is welcome.
