I am currently a student online in a Law class and this was the needed book. I was not sure at the time I purchased if I wsa going to keep this book or resale it. I can honestly say that I have enjoyed the book and will keep for future reference. Anyone that is in school, working in business, this is a great tool to have. It is easy to read and understand. This book has made learning business law easy.

It was a good book, Worked perfect for the class, and i liked the digital format.My only complant is that with the reader you can only see one page at a time.WORK ON THIS !It is a text book, not a math or science one, it has heavy reading, and not a single picture i cared about.I for one, would rather use my kindle to read this rather than a monitor. - Kindle fires don't count!

Ideal if you would like to learn about the legal environment of business. If you would like to learn essentials behind restoring a 1960 Dodge Charger, or how to fly a kite under water this is not the book for you.

Perfect buy for business law class. I lived the reading and the bold vocabulary in text and vocab list at end of chapters!

This is the worst textbook I have ever used. The color coding is awful and makes nothing stand out. Some sections are in black and white while others have color. The biggest issue though is how they place their content. They will stop in the middle of a sentence to place a picture or diagram, this makes it incredibly hard to follow. For instance "The counterclaim is similar to a complaint in that the defendant's allegations and" followed by 2 pages of pictures before resuming.

Renting this was the most affordable method a the time. The process was very easy to complete and I had my book within a few days.

It does not come with a Connect access code as required by my class. Cheaper to buy the eBook so you also get the code.
