As New, graded in hand. A large-format Search Press paperback with a laminated pictorial cover as issued - no dust jacket was ever part of this edition. The cover is clean, with no creasing, scuffing, or tears found; the bright streaks visible in the photographs are camera glare on the laminate, not damage. The binding is intact and square, with no loose or missing pages. The spine was not photographed on its own, but the book was graded in hand. Interior pages are clean and white throughout, with no writing, highlighting, annotations, or yellowing found. The reusable outline drawings at the back of the book appear unused; they were not individually counted in the photographs. No library stamps, call-number labels, card pockets, date-due slips, or barcode stickers anywhere in the book.

Store description
For 15 years I've been an Oregon CPA, and for 10 of those I taught tax and accounting at the college level. But my proudest work has nothing to do with numbers: I homeschooled my daughter from preschool through freshman year and in September she will be starting the 10th grade - homeschooling. This season taught me a good book can shape how a child sees the world. Every title I choose has to engage young minds to think critically and navigate this world with real understanding.
