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

I like the textbook because it gives some great examples when trying to example terms. But, the writing in textbook is a bit confusing at times. It seems the authors could have written it in more layman's terms.

I'm not going to be a lawyer. So, why do difficult of text. If you are taking this course online, the the textbank of questions seems to come out of the blue. You are suppose to be able to read between the lines.

Mistakenly I hit the 1-click key and amazon automatically with no warning charged the purchase. I contacted the seller directly at [e-mail] and this person promptly responded and did not charge my card. Thank you!
