I enjoyed this book! So much so that the one I'm selling here is an extra copy (I ordered one that didn't get to me in time so I had to buy another one). I learned a lot and will refer to it in the future. This is a great book for business majors as well as anyone that does not have a law background but will need the knowledge for Public Policy, International Relations, etc. Good information those who would like to start their own business, too.

Rich in content, comprehensive, and very user-friendly. Presentation is excellent. Use of color, diagrams and boxes sets it apart from the majority of law books which are nothing more than 1000 pages of black and white text. The auhor also has a very well-chosen set of cases for the reader to see the legal process in practice. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT, it is a MUST for any student of law or as a reference for a business owner.

I actually took Professor Cheeseman's BUAD 403 Legal Environment class at the University of Southern California! He's the funniest and most interesting professor I've ever had. Read the Haiku at the beginning of the book. It's bizarre until you know his past; then it's hailarious. Cheeseman is a brilliant man. After serving in the Army during Vietnam, he's earned 6 degrees!

This book weighs a ton, but its not some heavy text on legal theory. This book is made for the student. He does all the work for you by breaking everything down. He even puts concept summaries in the margins for you procastinators that cram. The book is not only informative, its entertaining. He explains all concepts with real-life cases. The case studies in the book are the most interesting part. I learned so much from this book. Especially the part on contract law. I feel sorry for people who have no idea how contracts surround our lives. For example when I send out my credit card # on Amazon I'm electronically putting my signature on a click-wrap contract and now subject to the numerous integrated reference clauses I don't see under Amazon. I personally feel much safer with this knowledge and I can thank this book for that. I really wish you guys could sit in on his lectures. You'd spend 2 hours every week laughing. But if you can't, this book is a great substitute.

This book is full of useful information regarding business law and takes into consideration the ever changing world of international business and e-commerce. I found the book to be easy to read and the use of cases to clarify the type of law or statute being discussed helped to tie everything together in a format that could be understood by the average student. I would suggest this book to anyone who wants a reference manual on business law to keep on their shelf and is a interesting reading for business law classes.

BE AWARE!
This is not a text book. It is a study Guide. At least that is what I received. - surprise.

I just completed a Business Law 1 class utilizing this book. Business Law (7th Edition) I was worried about taking this class when I saw it was a required class for my degree. The book is the best textbook I have ever read. I wish more textbooks were set up in this manner. It takes what I thought was a very hard subject and makes it understandable and dare I say, enjoyable. I'm considering taking Business Law 2 now even though it is not required. Thank you Mr. Cheeseman. Business people should have this book in their library.

I ordered this book from this link, it's surprised me when I received an instructor review edtion and had the same ISBN. So make sure you get the right text book before put your order.

Excellent book, I have used it at the University of Delaware for 2 classes now. This is the type of book every business owner should read regardless of whether they intend to earn college credit. This information is a MUST KNOW! Every citizen of this country would benefit from knowing and understanding their legal rights. The cost of this book is invaluable for the legal advise one will receive. Glad I get to take this class and learn such important info.

It is well laid out and easy to follow and understand. The cases provide excellent demonstrations and memorable circumstances where law has been practiced and determined. I will hold onto this one. Thank you Henry Cheeseman for compiling such an intelligible resource.

I took Henry Cheeseman's Business Law class at USC and he is an amazing professor! His book shows it all. Out of all my textbooks in my undergraduate and graduate studies, this is by far the most easy/fun to read textbook, while explaining everything in detail with many case examples!

If you want to get a general idea of what exactly law and business law is, then this is the book to buy. After reading this book, my interest in law sparked! I am actually planning on reading through it one more time to refresh my memory!

This is the first college textbook that gets five stars from me. In his preface to the students, Dr. Cheeseman calls this book a labor of love. He did not exaggerate. It really shows that this book was written for students. The field of business law is vast, but Dr. Cheeseman manages to cover the essential in one book.

Page by page, he delivers relevant information. His explanations are short and to the point. He reinforces the concepts with carefully selected cases. One of the book's strong features is also its structure. The chapters are organized in a logical and easy to follow fashion. Finally, one gets a little intercultural perspective through Dr. Cheeseman's photography from places and people all over the world.

In short, this book's got it. I give it two thumbs up.
