I like it and use it.  It is a higher level treatment than you find in
something like Lasser (sp?), but not as obtuse as the Prentice-Hall one
designed for tax accountants. (The PH is the standard. NOT their one that
competes with Lasser tho.)

I use the academic one.  I can't tell you about the engineers one.
