We're considering ordering 2 of the resources authored by Q&A columnists:
1. The 401(k) Plans Manual by Stuart C. Harris and Kut E. Linsemayer.

2. Retirement Plan Distribution Book by Martin Silfen, Esq.

Has anyone used either of these? If so, would you be willing to share any comments about them?

Thanks.

I'm in the office now, and find that the book I was referring to is "Taxation of Distributions from Qualified Plans".

I had originally posted

"I'm not at the office, but if the Retirement Plan Distributions book is a blue with gold embossed cover, Hard Bound leatherette job, I've got it.

It's excellent. I've had other people ask if I've got it, and come by my office to research from it. It's basically organized Code and Regs (no small feat), but the extensive footnotes are what make it worth its place on the bookshelf. (God, I hope I'm talking about the right book).

My gripe is that it costs about a hundred bucks, then gets supplemented about every 3/4 year for roughly the same price.

For $100, give me a new darn book and get rid of the supplements!!!!"
