As a student of Business and having a limited acquaintance with law previously, I have to admit that this text is worth every penny. For those of us embarking on an entrepreneurial path, knowledge in the realms of torts, constitutional law, copyrights, cyberlaw, etc. is absolutely imperative.

The text contains recent cases, lower court decision, their backgrounds, abridged text submitted by the court and decisions made by the intermediate/supreme appellate courts. The authors present the text in a format not too difficult to read, but not easy enough to skim through.

Congratulations to Clarkson, Miller, Jentz and Cross for another fantastic text.

I got the Kindle version after I already had a hardback version for a Business Law class. The hardback version was fine, but what I found in the Kindle version was that the number of missing passages, typos, and errors was very high.

In one situation, one of the cases was actually missing! I was asked to read in class by my instructor, and had to borrow a book after a few minutes of struggling to understand what case he was talking about. I believe that was in chapter 9, but can't remember.

In other cases the formatting is rendered useless, and if things are in an ordered numbered list, they are just jumbled together poorly.

I just found in Chapter 10, several sentences that were cut off, and mashed together so incomprehensibly that I had to refer back to the paper version. I am sincerely grateful I have the paper version because there is no way I could have answered that take home test question with that passage because it doesn't make sense at all.

It is still useful, for the most part, to take to class, but I would not rely on it for tests. The information is just all to often missing, or has typos that render it hard to understand.

I'm actually very disappointed in this because I was going to buy all my textbooks in Kindle format if I could next quarter, but now I'm not so sure I should.

There were a few sections of highlighting and underlining, but the text was still readable. I am finding this book very interesting. It contains a lot of information-a little overwhelming; however, gives a good overview of the principles of law. It is my favorite book this term. Most books I put back up for sell-I think I am going to keep this one.

-Very intense book.
-Every chapter is concise, yet full of important content.
-We tried to outline the chapters, and found we could not leave anything out, because every line seemed important.
-Despite these sentiments, it is easy to follow and logically written.

A great book with thoughful summaries and perfectly arranged chapters. The real-life cases make the subject matter much more enjoyable. End-of-chapter sample cases make you think, and the online resources are helpful too.

Out of all the textbooks I have read through, this is one of the only books that I am planning on keeping due to its value in working in business.

This book would be great for any of the following people:

Business Lawyer
Entrepreneur, starting their own business
Insurance Agent
Student learning about Business (Undergrad or Graduate, either)

This book had a lot of information that I took from it and helped me figure out a lot about lawsuits in business.

Great Book. A lot of information with many cases to teach you along the way.

I had to get this book for one of my business law classes at school. It's actually really helpful and not too hard to understand.

What I like is the price. It's cheap and the book is in a good condition like they described. However, as I just read only few chapters, I found a page that was teared up on the right corner. I don't know if there's more teared up page. But in overall the textbook is still in a good condition.

I was looking for a book that was less expensive than the student bookstore. I buy Amazon all the time, so looked there first.
I found my Business Law book. There were over 100 different offers. I chose one that was distributed by Amazon directly.
The book is in excellent shape. It appears to be almost new. Definitely better shape than the used books at the bookstore. The buy back program also is better than the school.
I would recommend the service that Amazon offers.
