Booklist for Fall 2009 (last update: 7/14/09)

Please note that we have not yet received information from Professor Flanagan about which texts (if any) he will choose to adopt for his course.

As it is still early, many texts will not yet be available through Barnes & Noble. If you have any issues or questions about textbooks, please contact Kathryn at devinney@bu.edu.

It is required that all students purchase copies of the Income Tax Code and the Income Tax Regulations, but it is not necessary to have the most up-to-date versions of these texts (2008 editions should be fine). If you are interested in purchasing the Code & Regs through Barnes & Noble, please look under LAW TX 900 section A1.
