In my modest opinion. . .
                        ripoff

The book is 15.00 plus 2.30 postage and handling more expensive than
the Commerce Clearing House Master Tax Guide (call CCH bookstore in
Manhattan to order (212) 730-0909).  The CCH MTG is a "primary" 
source.  The Academic I.S. material is "secondary" restatements of
primary sources (most tax guides are secondary).  More chances for
error and *never* is as comprehensive.
