 (Herb Greenberg, Columnist, TheStreet.com, Fortune Magazine)

“Financial Fine Print belongs at your side before you read a company’s financial statement. It’s beautifully written, combining both warmth and clarity, and as easy to read as it is to understand. With a book as indispensable as this, there’s no longer any reasonable excuse to avoid wading into the thicket of footnotes before making financial decisions.”
 (Angele McQuade, Better Investing Magazine)

“Obfuscators beware! Michelle Leder has cracked the code. In this invaluable guide to combing the footnotes of financial statements for indicators of accounting tricks and attempts to hide the bad news needles in a haystack of numbers. This is a clear, sensible, and above all practical guide that will be indispensable for anyone who invests in, does business with, or works for a corporation.”
 (Nell Minow, editor, The Corporate Library)
