From Library Journal
This reasonably priced, fact-filled title was originally issued less than a year ago ( LJ 9/1/86). The new edition contains essentially the same information, but it reflects changes brought about by the passage of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other recent events. Statistical data for 1986 are included. Public, academic, and appropriate special libraries lacking the first edition should consider purchasing this additional source of basic business information.
