Download Description
"This clear, comprehensive book provides step-by-step instructions and all the necessary forms to incorporate in the Golden State. It explains the benefits of such a move including limited liability, lower income taxes, employee perks and increased access to capital. The book also provides Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, Stock Certificates, Minutes of the First Corporate Meeting, S Corporation tax information and information on the legal formalities necessary to operate a corporation.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent resource, easy to understand.......2007-10-05
I bought this book because I wanted to incorporate my single-person consulting company. It took me a few hours to read this book (some sections didn't apply, but I still wanted to review them), and I felt very confident I could incorporate without a lawyer. I followed the instructions for forming a C Corp in California and used the forms provided in the CD-Rom. I delivered my forms in person to the LA regional office. Within 2 weeks, I received confirmation that my articles had been filed with the SoS of CA -- all for under $250 including the cost of the book. This compares to almost $1500 that most lawyers quoted me. I recommend this book highly but recognize that the process may be more challenging if you have many shareholders.
It is an Ok book.......2007-05-25
Good information, good overview. Would be good to be more detail.
excellent guidebook to corporation issues and how-to.......2006-08-10
I purchased this book as a research tool before incorporating my business as a California C corp without any outside assistance last year. This was all I needed and used.
I read the book cover-to-cover, which did not take more than about 6 hours, and I felt very comfortable with the entire process. Like most Nolo books, this has a very readable style, with plenty of important information organized in a sensible manner. Even though the topic may not be entertainment reading, Mancuso makes the process very reasonable and I can't imagine another book doing it meaningfully better than this.
This book hits its target audience very well - someone who wants to know about the practical and procedural issues related to incorporation. As part of the responsibility of operating a business, any incorporator needs to know most of what is covered in this book. Even if you get someone to do the filing, any incorporator needs to know this stuff. Don't worry - it's not rocket science.
For a broader understanding of business issues, I found Nolo's other titles to be similarly excellent (their guide to california business and their guide to business deductions). Both cover related but different and important areas for new business owners. Read all 3 and you'll be set for general business issues.
How to Form Your Own California Corporation (9th Ed).......2000-03-28
Good examples. Fairly comprehensive. Good discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of forming a California corporation. The Corporate Tax section has some good pointers. Good writing style! It flows. But the diskette has only a fraction of the business and corporation related forms compared to "Small Busines Kit for Dummies". Overall, I recommend this book for a new commer. Well worth the money.
Customer Reviews:
Just forms, which can be obtained for free.......2000-01-20
This book is horrible. First it focuses on incorporating in Delaware, and gives you most of the necessary forms for that state as well as basic forms 40 other states (no explanation why 9 states were excluded). These forms and instructions are all downloadable from the states' Web sites anyway, so this book is pretty much useless.
The book also promotes the author's company, which charges very high fees for simple incorporating services.
If you need sample bylaws, etc, get them from "Small Business Kit for Dummies," which has much, much more useful information and many other forms you can use. Don't waste your money on this book like I did.
Terse but useful book, for comparing incorporation states........1999-08-08
This book indeed concentrates on Delaware, but does offer incorporation procedures and fees for every state in the USA (as far as I could see, anyway). It's entirely adequate, if extremely lacking in the sort of explanatory babble that one might desire from such a book.
If you want to learn more about incorporation and what it means, look elsewhere. If you want a bare-bones incorporation guide that does cover the ground, is up-to-date and points to a company well-known for pioneering low-cost self-help incorporations, then this is a good book, and your money will have not been spent in vain.
The Title should end with "In Delaware".......1998-10-20
The book is very informative and helpful, and gives the reader a good background on what is required to create a corporation. The weakness of the book is that it focuses on creating a corporation in the State of Delaware. And does not warn the reader of this until they begin reading the book. All the forms and information provided relate to creating a corporation in Delaware. If that is the objective of the reader, then this is a very useful book. If one is planning on creating a corporation in another state then this book may not be very useful.
Customer Reviews:
All you need to establish S Corporation.......2006-01-17
I used this book since 2000 when I established my own S Corporation. Read it carefully - and you will have everything you have to know about forming, maintanance, and taxation for your small business. This is guide in paperwork, too.
Unsung hero?.......2003-12-01
This book was recommended to me by a friend and I am impressed. This bookis an unsung hero. I guess that is because the author doesn't write a bunch of reviews and guides which are solely set up as informercials to push his overhyped book which isn't that good, I've seen it.
How to Form Your Own S-Corporation and Avoid Double Taxation is a real winner and will tell you what you want to know. Two other good books include Small Business Start-Up Kit: S-Corporations by Dan Sitarz and How To Start Your Own "S" Corporation by Robert A. Cooke. I also recommend The Small Business Legal Kit and Form Your Own Corporation and Launch A Business in Any State by J.W.Dicks.
Good luck with your business.
Not bad, but..........2000-03-15
I read this to get an idea of the steps to take in setting up my own S corporation. While this does take you through the steps of incorporating in Delaware, it reads more like an infomercial. The author has a business set up to incorporate you in Delaware, and will do it cheaper than his competitors, says the book. However, it is not very helpful if you want to incorporate in any other state.
Good for novices, old info.......1999-07-27
I was immediately put off by the old information in a fast changing area of practice. No usable forms, not a real how-to, just a primer

Book Description
Each chapter in Equilibrium and Advanced Transportation Modelling develops a topic from basic concepts to the state-of-the-art, and beyond. All chapters relate to aspects of network equilibrium. Chapter One advocates the use of simulation models for the representation of traffic flow movements at the microscopic level. Chapter Two presents travel demand systems for generating trip matrices from activity-based models, taking into account the entire daily schedule of network users. Chapter Three examines equilibrium strategic choices adopted by the passengers of a congested transit system, carefully addressing line selection at boarding and transfer nodes. Chapter Four provides a critical appraisal of the traditional process that consists in sequentially performing the tasks of trip generation, trip distribution, mode split and assignment, and its impact on the practice of transportation planning. Chapter Five gives an insightful overview of stochastic assignment models, both in the static and dynamic cases. Chapters Six and Seven investigate the setting of tolls to improve traffic flow conditions in a congested transportation network. Chapter Eight provides a unifying framework for the analysis of multicriteria assignment models. In this chapter, available algorithms are summarized and an econometric perspective on the estimation of heterogeneous preferences is given. Chapter Nine surveys the use of hyperpaths in operations research and proposes a new paradigm of equilibrium in a capacitated network, with an application to transit assignment. Chapter Ten analyzes the transient states of a system moving towards equilibrium, using the mathematical framework of projected dynamical systems. Chapter Eleven discusses an in-depth survey of algorithms for solving shortest path problems, which are pervasive to any equilibrium algorithm. The chapter devotes special attention to the computation of dynamic shortest paths and to shortest hyperpaths. The final chapter considers operations research tools for reducing traffic congestion, in particular introducing an algorithm for solving a signal-setting problem formulated as a bilevel program.

New Way of Cooking in an Ancient Pot
Customer Reviews:
Yum Yum!!.......2005-12-01
I recently ordered this book and have tried three recipes in one week. I do not exaggerate when I say this is some of the best food I have ever tasted. The book warns to use only a non-glazed cooker, but I have a Schlemmertopf, which is glazed, and the recipes cook perfectly. Five Stars.
Wrong Book for my Clay Pot.......2004-04-27
I gave the book 5 stars because that is what most people do and the book probably deserves 5 stars. I may never use the book because nowhere was it mentioned that it was only for unglazed pots. My pot has glazed bottom, so now I must search for a book on using glazed pots. I had hoped for information for adapting recipes for microwave, but there was none.
No Time to Cook? Let the Claypot do all the work!.......2000-07-15
I purchased a Romertopf clay pot 5 years ago and bought this book soon after. Grover's Roast Chicken recipe was my first attempt and it was scrumptious! I steered clear of the recipes containing organs but I found that soups, stews and even breads turn out beautifully in the clay pot. I now have 3 sizes and would advise the user to line the pot with parchment paper just to reduce the cleanup time. This book helps to demystify a basically simple cooking utensil and you will love the results. Food is packed with flavor and moisture and you just have to sit by and wait to serve. It is a lifesaver for those of us who love a home-cooked meal but don't have the time after a long day at work.
The clay-pot classic shows it's age........2000-01-22
Georgia and Grover provide a fun read. There is not an intimidating, high brow paragraph in this book. The recipes include clear, easily followed directions. Reading the opening and any three random recipes will provide adequate information to make one an expert clay-pot chef. Don't let the organ meat recipes frighten you off. They make up a small portion of the book. The authors claim that clay-pot cooking is very healthy - low fat, low sodium, yet richly flavored. The definition of low fat, low sodium must have been much different in 1974. Many of the recipes in this book add unnecessary fat and salt. Some even call for bouillon cubes - Jean Bell's Beef Stroganoff calls for two cubes and is garanteed to make guests thirsty all evening! Most of the recipes are easily tweaked to meet low fat, low sodium guidelines. Nothing wrong with enjoying them in their original sinful forms! Just beware if you buy this book seeking health reform.
Excellent main dish recipies for clay pot.......1999-10-17
I have used this book for 20 years and am ordering a copy for friends. It is one of the two best clay cook books out of seven I have tried-- my other favorite is out of print. I have lots of our family all time favorites marked in this book. Many recipies are relatively low fat or can be modified and use a minimum of canned or packaged ingrediants. That's in contrast with "Cooking in Clay" by Joanna White-- which also has lots of breads and desserts, not the best use of the clay pot in my opinion.
Book Description
This beautiful book is divided into ten easy-to-use chapters, with recipes for every meal occasion and every course.
Customer Reviews:
Misleading Title, but Worth its Weight in Saffron........2003-04-08
I bought this book without even looking inside it. That is testimony to the quality of "The Cook's Encyclopedia of" series, of which this is one, though it has been renamed for some reason.
I was initially disappointed, because my idea of one-pot cooking is that the contents of the one pot be a main dish, not a side dish. Many of these recipes are really side dishes. Not many people would consider Ratatouille as being a main dish, for example.
So why the five stars? Well, the ratatouille recipe is the best one I've ever seen -- simply wonderful! Also true of the other 20-odd recipes I've made from this book. Commenting on the review by Mr. Moore, where he says "the spices and combination of ingredients have a decidely European feel": He is quite correct, when the dish is a European one, such as Jansson's Temptation, Seafood Risotto, Cassoulet, or Italian Lamb Meatballs with Chilli Tomato Sauce (all of which are excellent, by the way -- the tricky risotto is particularly well-explained).
However, when the book moves further afield, to Morocco for five different tagines (the shellfish one is particularly good), or to India for a Goan Fish Casserole, or to Thailand for a tofu curry, I can assert that the ingredients, spices and techniques are absolutely authentic to their regions.
As with all of this series of books, the layout is almost perfect -- they'd be better eliminating the pointless "technique" photographs and enlarging the recipe font, but it is never necessary to turn a page while working on a recipe. The comprehensive index also works well -- rare in a cookbook.
I've only found one recipe where I immediately disagree with the author, and that is the otherwise excellent Chicken Gumbo. Where is the file roux? I know that excellent gumbos can be made without file, but if you're only going to include one gumbo recipe, it should have file in it. Strange omission, because the other recipe from Louisiana, the Jambalaya, is completely authentic.
One other gripe is that slow cookers are never mentioned, even though slow cookers are an absolute natural for many of these dishes. The author goes on at length about the different types of clay pot, but I have never noticed any actual advantage to clay pot cooking except for the presentation, when you walk into the dining room with tagine in hands, place it in the middle of the table, and whisk the top off with a flourish. It's just a small gripe, however, because most of these recipes can be done in a slow cooker without any change whatsoever except for increased cooking time.
I have five books from this series, and all five of them reside permanently on the top shelf of my 200+ cookbook library. I have used this one less than the others, but that's only because I got it fairly recently.
Beautifully Illustrated for European Cuisine.......2002-02-20
I purchased this book because I was looking for some recipes and tips for using my Romertopf clay cooker. The book does a thorough job of discussing the various types and techniques for cooking with glazed and unglazed clay pots, and examines other one-pot techniques (pan-frying, stir-frying pot-roasting)as well. But the real beauty of this book is the wealth of illustrations. Each recipe not only includes a picture of the finished dish, but several pictures showing the 'how to' of the recipe directions. The recipes are divided into clearly numbered steps again accompanied most of the time by an illustration.
I would have given this book five stars but for the fact that the book is designed primarily for European cooks and includes many recipes for dishes not particularly common in American kitchens. There are many dishes using lamb and the spices and the combination of ingredients have a decidedly European feel. That is not intended to be a negative comment as I intend to expand my culinary experience by trying some of the recipes that I have never tasted. But for Americans who like more traditional fare and are like me, looking to learn more about cooking with a clay pot, this book may be a disappointment.
Book Description
Since Roman times, cultures around the world have been enchanted with cooking in clay and the juicy, full flavors it preserves in any dish. Today's healthminded cooks will find an added bonus: Clay pot cooking is practically foolproof and often fat-free. In The Best of Clay Pot Cooking, Dana Jacobi takes a fresh look at cooking in clay pots and comes up with over 40 easy and delectable recipes, from soups and stews to breads and desserts. Some reflect traditional uses for the clay pot, such as roasting poultry and beef; others are inventive new dishes drawing on ethnic influences -- Chicken Tagine with Green Olives & Preserved Lemon, for example, or Salmon with Ginger & Lime, Shrimp & Ham Jambalaya, Black & White Chipotle Chili, Moroccan Semolina Bread, or Banana Bread Pudding. And all these are prepared with minimum fuss, maximum flavor, and enormous nutritional value.
Customer Reviews:
clay pot cook book.......2007-06-08
I was very disappointed. I was expecting recipes for common daily food. It contains only "exotic" foods that are not practical for everyday use.
Durwood
I have mixed feelings about this book........2006-01-25
I have owned a 4-quart Romertopf for a few years and wanted a cookbook to try things beyond my current self concocted recipes for turkey parts and duck. The title of this book sounded very promising, but if I had looked through this book in a bookstore, I would not have gotten it.
Some of the recipes are nice, but could just as, actually more, easily be made using regular baking dishes than clay pots. I was looking for a cookbook where using a clay pot made a difference in the final product--and this book is not it.
As two examples out of many I could use:
1. Braised Red Cabbage with Cranberries - All the clay pot does is provide a covered dish for the final cooking. Prep cooking is done in a frying pan. One could just as easily make this dish completely in the frying pan, covering it until done, or use any covered container one already has and finish it in the oven.
2. Banana Bread Pudding - Calls for use of a cazuela, a Spanish, clay pot that looks like a high sided pie pan. The cazuela is not necessary for this dish to be made. Any similar shaped, metal or glass, baking dish could be used.
Whether one likes lamb or not, the recipe for Gigot of Lamb with Garlic is one of the few recipes in this little book that is probably much nicer made in a Romertopf (or other covered clay pot) than in a normal covered roasting pan.
The most frequently called for Romertopf size is 3-quart.
Easy Entertaining.......2001-03-28
I love to cook and I love to try new recipes. The recipes are easy to understand and once the meal is in the oven you can forget it until time to dish-up. Sesame Chicken is sensational! A great book for anyone who doesn't mind spending a little time getting the ingredients together.
Book Description
This fabulous collection of over 80 recipes includes a variety of first course dishes and light meals.
Product Description
This new edition of
Cooking in Clay contains new entrees, side dishes, and soups to make in your clay cooker, with updated instructions and tips for getting the most from your cooker. The clay cooker is unusually versatile: It can serve as a vegetable steamer, soup kettle, stew pot, brick oven and roaster. This is because clay is a porous material which, when saturated with water and heated in an oven, provides slow evaporation of steam from its pores, creating a moist, enclosed environment for tender, healthy foods.
Customer Reviews:
Highly recommended for any clay pot owner, whether new or seasoned cook.......2006-06-26
The revised edition of a classic guide, Cooking in Clay, comes from an author with a degree in both biology and the Cordon Bleu School of Cooking, and it doesn't disappoint, providing over a hundred dishes for clay pot fare ranging from soups to seafoods and breads. Success is nearly guaranteed through numerous tips and insights on how clay cooking works, paired with appealing dishes such as a Ham and Raisin Stuffing or Garlic Braised Spareribs. Highly recommended for any clay pot owner, whether new or seasoned cook.

Clay pot cooking.......2000-03-20
I bought this book after I created several clay pots myself in my pottery studio. Not only did the pots work great with many of the books recipes, I found myself making more casseroles for friends and relatives.
Only if you cook using cans of soup.......2000-02-26
This is a vastly overrated book. The recipes are pedestrian at best, in lineal descent from Betty Crocker. The author apparently thinks of food as 'food products.' Touted as including microwave cooking in clay, it does not, just offers a page of advice. If you like to cook, buy a different book.
This book will convince anyone to buy a clay cooker!.......1998-11-06
Would you believe microwave cooking? How about oatmeal cake with coconut frosting, bouillabaisse or whole wheat cinnamon rolls? I had no idea how versatile a clay cooker is. This book not only gave me recipes for a variety of foods, but gave me information on care and storage and how to convert standard recipes to cook in clay. The recipes are wonderful and easy to follow. If you've ever thought about cooking in clay, this book will make convince you. I loved it. I use it all the time.
Wonderful book with great variety of recipes.......1997-06-13
This book has lots of recipes for clay cookers as well as many tips about cooking in clay. Many cookers don't come with an abundance of information or recipes, so this book fills two large gaps. There is great variety in recipes, many of which are fairly simple, and this variety is also helpful in adapting your favorite recipes to clay cooking. The book is reasonably priced, which is a wonderful bonus. If you cook in clay or want to cook in clay, this is the book for you
