1.0 out of 5 stars DON'T BUY - OLD EDITION, October 21, 2005

By	K. Hunt - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bankruptcy and Related Law in a Nutshell: (Successor to Debtor-Creditor Law in a Nutshell) (Nutshell Series) (Paperback)

2005 Amendments are not in the burgundy colored BNK law book - they are in the new one. The cover is blue. The burgundy colored one in OLD law. Buy the new blue one (2005) that has the new amendments in it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Law Student's Opinion, January 9, 2007

By	Angel1l1 - See all my reviews

I used this Nutshell to help create my outline and fill in holes towards the end of the semester. I thought the book was well-organized and appreciated its explanation of confusing code sections. I wish I had purchased this book earlier in the semester since using it thoughout the class would have been beneficial. Summary: Much like other Nutshells - very helpful!

1.0 out of 5 stars Better guides are available, December 30, 2006

By	Book Guru (Allen, TX) - See all my reviews

This is probably the worst of the guides available for bankruptcy law. It seems to have been put together in a hurry, maybe to be the first guide on the market to address the 2005 amendments. I had to look else where after being disappointed with this and prefer the following:

1. Baird's Elements of Bankruptcy (awesome!)
2. Blum's Examples & Explanations
