Basic book for sellers of smaller companies.......1999-07-12
I found the book to be somewhat basic and most appropriate for sellers of smaller businesses and/or sellers without significant knowledge about financial markets and/or business acquisitions and divestitures. That criticism aside, the book is well written, comprehensive and substantially relevant to today's market. I'm glad I purchased it.

Book Description
The value of a business is closely linked with the owner's ability to sell it. How to Value and Sell Your Small Business will demystify all the ways of valuing and selling a business, taking the reader step-by-step through assessing its present and future worth, identifying potential buyers, maximizing the selling price and managing the sales process. Having a sound exit strategy in place makes all the difference when an owner decides to sell, and it also ensures maximum profits from the sale. How to Value and Sell Your Business helps owners put that strategy in place. It explores the various options available to business owners who want to sell, and it does so while avoiding unfamiliar technical jargon.

The bible.......2001-10-24
I had the pleasure of attending the class that Jack Levin teaches at Univ. Chicago's law school where this book is the text book. I was surprised to find how readable the text is considering the complexity of the subject matter. Having read other texts on the subject, I can say that this is by far the most readable and accurate resource on these subjects. The front half of the book is the text the authors wrote and is organized from forming the company through making growth equity investments, LBOs, roll-ups, exit strategies and finally forming the PE fund. The latter half of the book contains excerpts of relevant SEC regs and IRS code as reference material for the topics covered in the first half of the book.
Even if you don't have time to read the whole text, it is a very easy to use reference for almost any issue that comes up in these types of transactions. If you are more on the M&A side, I also highly recommend the companion 3 book set titled "Mergers, Acquisitions, and Buyouts".

Book Description
Critical realism has become increasingly important in the way organization and management is being studied. This book argues for an alternative to the prevailing ontology and shows how positivism and its empirical realist ontology can be abandoned without having to accept strong (anti-realist) social constructionism.
This book applies critical realism in four ways. First, in the removal of meta-theoretical obstacles that hinder the development of fruitful theoretical and empirical work. Second and third, as a meta-theoretical tool with which to develop appropriate methodological and theoretical frameworks which can be used to inform appropriate empirical work. And finally, all of this is applied across a broad range of subject areas including critical management studies, accountancy, marketing, health care management, operations research, the nature of work, human resource management, labor process theory, regional analysis and work and labor markets.

If have lots of time and are a chemist at heart, you will make FABULOUS pastries.......2007-08-21
I borrowed this book from the library when unemployed during the dotcom bust, and made the "Gateau Clichy", sometimes known as an "Opera Cake", and won first prize in a local pastry contest. It was a LOT of work, and you need to be really precise in your weighing an measuring, and cleaning -good marks in college level organic chemistry was a big advantage - but oh MY was it worth it! The house smelled like a French Patisserie all weekend, beautiful smells of rich chocolate and fresh roasted coffee, and the buttercream came out perfectly

Book Description
Discover how to protect your assets from unpredictable judges, armed street gangs of plaintiffs, lawyers and Robin Hood juries determined to redistribute wealth in Asset Protection Lawyer Jim Bennett's eye-opening new book:
Bulletproof Offshore Asset Protection
The Money Fortress for the New Millennium
by Jim Bennett
If you keep money or other assets in the United States, it's time to look at other options. Because the court system in this country is out of control. Today, if you keep all of your money in the U.S., you're asking for problems, and even the most powerful, most expensive lawyers may not be able to protect you.
In the U.S., the number of lawsuits is increasing 7 times faster than the population. The number of lawsuits now in our court system awaiting resolution has topped 100,000,000. For emphasis, I'll say it again. Right now, over 100 million lawsuits are literally choking the life out of our court system waiting for some sort of resolution. It's no wonder, for example, that federal judges in New York sometimes wait as long as 11 years to decide non-jury trials.
And that's not the worst of it!
Every year, plaintiffs file 30,000,000 new lawsuits. On average, that's over 82,000 lawsuits per day!
Lawsuits have become the plaintiffs' negotiating strategy, a bullying tactic they use to force you to pay money. You see, plaintiffs and their lawyers have learned that if they sue you, you will likely give them (at least part of) what they want. This is because the cost of hiring defense lawyers and going to trial has mushroomed beyond what many executives, professionals and businesses can afford.
So, plaintiffs conclude, "If we sue the defendant, one of two things will likely happen: Either the defendant will give us money to go away. Or we'll keep the defendant tied up in court for 2 to 5 years and then the jury will give us the defendant's money."
As you can see, in either case, the money comes out of your pocket!
Of course, you might win the case. But at what price? To win your case, you could easily pay six figures to your law firm. So in the U.S. today, even if you win, you lose. The price of lawsuits is so high that our court system is often the last place you'll find justice.
Who are the plaintiffs who can't wait to sue you? Just about anyone you can name. They include unhappy employees, clients, patients, customers, shareholders, investors, directors, partners, creditors, neighbors, friends, spouses and children. Anybody can sue you, if that person wants to. And many will.
To understand your attackers, let's look at what plaintiffs' lawyers have in common:
1. They love money. The more they stand to gain, the better they like it.
2. They love to gamble. They don't mind losing cases now and then because the winners far more than pay for the losers.
3. They love to fight. They don't mind wrestling with your lawyers for years in an effort to see who comes out on top.
4. They love to control. They will gladly spend weeks in depositions asking you tough questions so they can show you that they have the upper hand.
But, first and foremost, always, is the money. Money is the essential ingredient. If plaintiffs lawyers can't get your money, they won't waste one minute pursuing the plaintiff's case.
So the key to preventing lawsuits, the key to protecting your assets, is to make sure predator-plaintiffs and their lawyers can't get their hands on your money.
Here is all you need to know to protect your assets: If your assets are beyond the reach of U.S. courts, judges can't seize them, Robin Hood juries can't award them to a defendant, and plaintiffs' lawyers can't enforce judgments against them.
When plaintiffs' lawyers discover they can't get your money, they won't waste any time trying. Why should they! They can find someone else to sue who does have money in the U.S., which makes them a much more attractive target.
You want to know more, and you should. Because every day the problem grows worse. Every day creative plaintiffs' lawyers concoct new reasons to sue defendants. Consider this list of common reasons
Employment lawsuits arising from: Age discrimination. Racial discrimination. Gender discrimination. Religious discrimination. Pregnancy discrimination. Disability discrimination. Mental illness discrimination. Addiction discrimination. Sexual harassment. Peer harassment. Gossip among employees. Job references (good or bad). Whistle blowing. Retaliation. Wrongful termination. Negligent employee retention. Releasing medical information. Unequal mental vs. physical health coverage. Employee injury from chemical exposure. And much more.
Professional Malpractice lawsuits arising from: Medical malpractice. Legal malpractice. Psychological malpractice. Engineering malpractice. Architectural malpractice. And much more.
Business Liability lawsuits arising from: Environmental cleanup liability. Products liability. Shareholder liability. Securities fraud. Liability of outside directors. Liability from unsatisfied customers. Personal injury when a customer drinks too much and hurts someone. Personal injury when a customer slips and falls. And much more.
Personal lawsuits arising from: Divorce. Lawsuits by children. Lawsuits from business partners. Creditors claims. Accidental injury caused by a family member. Pregnancy (your son gets a girl pregnant). Personal injury caused by a drinking guest. Personal injury when a guest slips and falls. And much more.
If asked, your lawyer could probably come up with 100 more reasons people might sue you. The list seems endless.
And since the lawsuits will never end, and since plaintiffs' lawyers will never have enough money, you can (and should!) take one key step that will immediately cause lawyers to lose interest in you: Put your assets overseas, in a foreign protective country, beyond the reach of U.S. courts.
And to help you understand this fast-growing solution to the tidal wave of lawsuits, I've written this fact-filled book. I invite you to order your copy today.

bulletproof asset protection.......2000-07-26
Clear charts, easy chapters, convincing arguments - yet not enough info on "how to"...I'm not sure that it is really necessary to complicate matters as much as he does. This book is mainly self-advertising and is clearly geared to very wealthy potential clients.
Bulletproof lacks technical application.......2000-03-07
This book is good and long on why and short on how. There's a basic diagram of the legal entities but doing it yourself is not part of this book. It can be read at a single sitting. There were a few very helpful ideas but I'd like to see a lot more concrete explanation on the 'how to'.
Good Book.......2000-02-22
Great book to get you started understanding the ideas of offshore asset protection. Liked the very simple but complete discussions. He was very upfront of his motiviations and also warned the reader that he also sells his services. Check out jim's website for further updates from what he wrote. The only difference between the book and the web site is at the web site, he suggested that $100k vice $500k in liquid assets. Highly recommended read. I only wish his rates are cheaper. Now only if I had the assets to protect.
Could be called Asset Protection for Dummies.......1999-09-01
Attorney, Jim Bennett makes a very convincing case of the need for offshore asset protection trusts in modern day America in his book entitled Bulletproof Offshore Asset Protection -- The Money Fortress for the New Millennium. If not for the rights to the name held by IDG Books, his book could have been called Offshore Asset Protection for Dummies. Like books from the IDG Dummies series, Bennett's book offers simple explanations to make this complicated topic easier to understand with the aid of graphics, illustrations and flow charts. Offshore investment neophytes are treated to a personal experience of the author that makes it blatantly clear why anyone with assets should be nervous in today's litigious world. Without giving away the story, one disgruntled employee can potentially ruin the retirement plan for any professional or company owner. One of the better introductory books on the subject of offshore business that I've reviewed. Matt Blackman - Goldhaven.com
This book is comprehensive, succinct and easy to read........1999-04-08
I liked this book because it gave me the hard information I needed without a lot of unnecessary fluff. It described precisely how these things work, and especially how they work when you get sued. Very comprehensive, yet succinct. Very efficient read. It was also understandable; no legalese, and every time the author used a legal term, he explained it in clear English. I didn't know anything about these things when I started and I feel like I understand them pretty well now.

The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing (Revised Edition) (Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing)
ASIN: 0028637526 |
Book Description
Over 4 million people are logging onto the Internet to research stocks, check quotes, and make investments, and the number is growing daily. It's hard to believe that only three years ago the average person hadn't even heard about online investing. And a little over a year ago people in the bricks-and-mortar financial industry didn't believe that online brokerages could compete. Now the likes of Merrill Lynch, Prudential Securities, and Morgan Stanley are rushing to create their own online brokerage sites.
In The Unofficial Guide to Online Investing, new and experienced investors learn to:
- Choose which computer, Internet Service Provider, and investment software is best for online investing
- Find the web sites every online investor must know
- Pick an online broker and set up an account
- Monitor investments on- and off-site
- Evaluate online investment clubs, bulletin boards, discussion forums and news groups, mailing lists, and magazines
- Avoid the scams and pitfalls of online investing -- what happens if the online brokers site crashes?

An Exceptional Guide to Investment and Money Management.......2000-12-16
The Unofficial Guide to Online Investing by Henry Robb is an excellent guide for the individual investor. If you're looking for an extremely thorough, reader-friendly, comprehensive reference tool for not only online investing but a myriad of other vital financial concerns, look no further. It's obvious that the author took great pains in putting this book together. It's wonderfully written in an interesting, easy-to-understand style that doesn't intimidate or confuse the reader. On the contrary, you get the feeling that Mr. Robb has been an investment veteran for a number of years and through his day-to-day experience in dealing with the various financial markets, he has gained a great deal of wisdom on the subject.
The information, which is meticulously organized, is highly objective in nature. The author paints a very honest, if sobering view, of the overall financial picture, and he gives the reader an opportunity to find out about him- or herself with the inclusion of various personality assessment exercises. They were very helpful in gauging where I stand regarding investing, and they'll provide a basic framework or starting point, if you will, for my future investment decisions.
Lastly, I would like to reiterate that this book discusses a wide variety of financial issues within the context of personal investment. That is a key reason why I believe this book is so useful. Its scope as well as its careful attention to detail makes The Unofficial Guide to Online Investing a truly wonderful source of information, as it addresses just about every kind of question relating to individual money management.
Should be titled "The Unofficial Guide to Personal Finance".......2000-08-26
This book should have been titled "The Unofficial Guide to Personal Finance". Only Part IV, chapters 10 through 13, about 160 pages are devoted to online investing, and it's at a very elementary level. The rest of the book deals with bank accounts, credit cards, debt reduction, insurance, taxes, and other personal finance issues. If you want to learn about Online Investing, leave this book on the shelf and look for another book which has doesn't have all this non-Online Investing stuff. Leave this POS on the shelf.
An Outstanding Reference.......2000-04-15
I just finished reading "the Unofficial Guide to Online Investing". This is a great book for the beginner through experienced individual investor. Robb covers all the critical topics in stages, increasing detail with each stage. What results is an excellent tutorial/reference (not to mention an easy read) concerning all aspects of investing. Starting with setting your house in order to planning and executing an investment plan. Well Done!

Book Description
The European Difference: Business Ethics in the Community of European
Management Schools aims to present the business ethics provisions, programs and experiences of member universities of the Community of European Management Schools (CEMS). This book also attempts to demonstrate the distinctiveness and cultural integrity of European business ethics.
Not surprisingly, the character and the level of development of business ethics in the represented European countries are diverse. However, common characteristics can be discovered in the business ethics experiences described in this volume. One principal theme that emerges is that European business ethics is deeply rooted in culture and less influenced by abstract principles and ideas. Some critical distance from the mainstream American approach to business ethics is also a common characteristic of contributions in this book.
This book was born from the fruitful exchange of the CEMS Inter-faculty Group in Business Ethics. CEMS was founded in 1988 as an association of top-level schools of management education throughout Europe, and inter-faculty groups were established to develop joint teaching materials and to encourage collaboration among the researchers at the various CEMS schools.

Breath taking.......2003-05-31
This book is unique. I've read books about Jackie LeRoy Wilson but this book by far is the best i've read. It cuts right to the chase and gives you information that's clear and not a run around. Also, gives you some pictures of Jackie that are in color. I recommend this book.
A Book you won't soon put down.......2002-07-31
I've read everything that I could on Jackie Wilson.the Man was something else in His Prime but sadly hasn't gotten His Full Due as a Artist to me overall.The Man knew how to Rock a Stage&was in Groove.but there was the Business which was Controled then as it is now by Payola&Scandal&at the End of the Day the Artist that has brought so Much Joy to so many People is the last Person Paid&Respected.this Book Explores many Aspects of His Career&Life.Ups&downs.it's a Great Inside Reflection of the Business.Much Props to Tony Douglas.RIP Jackie Wilson.
An involving coverage.......2002-05-10
Singer Jackie Wilson was one of the finest singing talents of the century, but he suffered from chronic addictions and his career was controlled by the Mob. This biography of his life, work and achievements chronicles the accomplishments of a man who was buried in a paupers grave, yet at his peak achieved 24 top 40 hits in the U.S. An involving coverage of a talented yet tormented performer.
Interesting.......2002-04-29
Mr. Excitement was really exciting!! Very good book
THE GREATEST: JACKIE WILSON.......2002-04-29
Tony Douglas' book, "Jackie Wilson:The Man, The Music, The Mob," far surpasses Mr. Douglas' talents. Mr. Douglas' book, "Jackie Wilson: Lonely Teardrops," was fantastic and now Mr. Douglas comes back with an even greater book.

Book Description
In the early 1950s, two young children and a small dog battle to survive the harsh reality of poverty and ignorance thrust upon them by a class of people who considered offspring expendable items if need be. Both children bear witness to the times, but only one is strong enough to survive. The price the survivor has had to pay over the years has taken a mighty toll from the heart. The Cold Side of the Pillow is a true story gleaned from a child's memory. This story has festered deep in the author's mind for forty-nine years, waiting to surface, awakening feelings of guilt and inviting the nightmares back into his life.
