Expensive textbook December 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had to buy this book because it is the required textbook in my class. I bought it here in Amazon because it is cheaper here than in my school's bookstore. Although it is cheaper in Amazon, the book still costs 150+, which is still very expensive for a student like me.
Anyways, If I only knew before what I knew now, I could have saved my self $150+! The content of this book is almost very similar to the Smith and Roberson's business law book. I happen to get an older version in a trift store for $25 and while scanning through the book, I realized that the two books are almost the same! The wordings and the case files tackled are almost the same. I hardly even used this brand new book at all.
Recommended?
If it is really really required in your class and you have money to spare, then go for it. But if not and you dont have much money to spend on text books, I would recommend that you look around at other USED business law text books like the older versions of Smith and Roberson.
 Not the Best Book Regarding Business Law! November 13, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm taking a college course using this book and it is not well written. The author has a bad habit of replacing all the "his" pronouns with the "her" pronouns -- I see what he's doing but it interfers with the reading of the book.
The problems at the end of the chapters are not bad, but the author really gets into legalese and specialized language throughout his chapters that makes reading it a chore as I beat up a dictionary trying to get through it.
The glossary is woefully incomplete.
Aspen Publishing makes a much superior business law book.

The book arrived on time, and was in good condition. The inside had no markings, but the covered had some dings in it.
 All Around Good Introduction To Business Law March 23, 2006

Well written book that provides a good introduction into business law principles. Outlines complex concepts with case law that makes it easy to understand. A reccomended read for the pre-law students as well as a valuable reference for business owners.

The text was torn. The cover was horrible and it had so much writing in it. It was the wrong text. I typed the IBSN, why would that book show up. I was very disappointed in this purchase.
