This review is from: Anderson's Business Law and The Legal Environment, Comprehensive Volume (Anderson's Business Law & the Legal Environment: Comprehensive Volume) (Hardcover)

This is an excellent compendium of the major subject areas
taught in a business law course. The book has a fair coverage
of legal rights, government regulatory processes,contracts,
personal property, sales, commercial paper, creditor rights,
agency and employment, partnerships, corporations, real property,
the Uniform Commercial Code and an index. The work presents
typical case studies utilizing the classic factual patterns and
the decision. There are important case studies contained
for student homework assignments and class participation.
The work is edited by some important CPA Review giants like
Dr. Fox -famous for his rendition of the CPA law review.
It is a worthy purchase for anyone studying business law or
sitting for the CPA Examination.

The work is easy to read considering the complexity of some
of the topics discussed. i.e. HDC (holder in due course)
The grammar and sentence structure are very readable for students.

This review is from: Anderson's Business Law and The Legal Environment, Standard Volume (Hardcover)

This is an excellent beginner's law book. This is also helpful for accountants preparing to take their CPA exam. This book has side references on questions and parts that have been used on the CPA exam. I highly recommend keeping this book as a basic easy to read and follow reference tool for legal issues concerning corporate entities.

Granted, it's a textbook... It's super easy to follow, while also being incredibly informative. It directly relates certain cases to the fundamentals you're learning. It's one of the best textbooks I've had.
