Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Wiley GAAP 99

22/100

This was the gold-standard GAAP desk reference for practicing accountants — in 1999. GAAP updates annually, so a 1999 edition carries no current professional utility and should not be purchased for any purpose other than historical curiosity. Even specialists need the current year's edition.
