Book Review:
Parker C. Fielder, A New Masterpiece from an Old Master
(reviewing Boris I. Bittker’s Federal Taxation of Income,
Estates, and Gifts), 61 TEXAS L. REV. 1379 (1983).
Abstract:
Professor Fielder describes Bittker’s treatise on the federal
income tax as a “masterpiece” that is both comprehensive and
comprehensible. Fielder particularly praises Bittker’s skill at
providing thorough coverage of each topic without becoming mired
in detail. He concludes that Bittker’s treatise, as well as its
later-published condensed student version, is an extremely
useful and valuable addition to tax literature.
