The CPA Journal calls The Handbook of Business Valuation and Intellectual Property Analysis, McGraw-Hill, 2004; ISBN:0071429670; 600 pages: $99.95 (hardcover), a “must for the serious practitioner.”

            Part III             Includes the effect of value drivers

            Part IV             Intellectual property
