I have been a long term user of Hardman's Tax Rates & Tables which Croner - i have chosen to discontinue. I like to have a paper book to hand and was wondering which of the above two to use instead. I would be grateful for any opinions.

I vote Whillans; I've used them for years. Huge amount of detail packed into quite a slim book.
I did try Bloomsbury's offering when it first came out, because it was a much lower price (then). However, I went back to Whillans the following year.
The point of my question was that the publisher, Croner i , has discontinued Hardman's.
Indeed. I noticed. I was just adding my personal recommendation.
Oh no! I've always had Hardman's - I suppose they're pushing for everyone to use online info. Would much rather have a book to refer to.
For years, as a practice, we used Whillans. Since staff have worked from home for last 18 months and are likely to do so, I didn't renew the subscription, and e all search for stuff online. Saved a fortune.
I am a Whillans person.
I suspect one inherits a position from one's early years, a bit like football clubs, you get introduced to them at a youngish age and do not often stray.
So for me it has to be Whillans re tables, Tolleys re tax annuals, Butterworths re company law and the orange and yellow handbooks. I do still have a soft spot for Tilleys as my first tax manuals in the early 80s were Tilleys and Pinson ( both no more I believe though I still have my 1982 Tilley).
Then re business finance it has to be Bradshaw & Wilkes and valuation issues still have me reaching for Hamilton Baynes.
Interesting point is going to arise when I retire, I do not think my other half has any idea the number of books I have here in the office that I might want to bring home, I think she is likely going to flip.
