With escalating competition from every angle; an extremely volatile marketplace; and mounting scrutiny that is being placed on businesses, their leaders are seeking new ways to continue to do business not only legally, but ethically, personably, economically. Goldman and Sigismond have provided a road map to threading on the legal mines without being blown away. For non-lawyers, like me, there is no doubt that this work will provoke a lot of interest and challenges to business leaders who find themselves dealing with a lot of conflicting issues today; and where legal and ethical "maybes" - the gray lines, are more prevalent than before. It appears that through the numerous cases, Goldman and Sigismind sensed a need to show non-lawyers how to navigate through the legal landmines safely. [Nwankama Nwankama]

I was pleased with my book. I was also very happy that it was in such good condition and much less expensive than the college bookstore.

This a clear and easy read. The terminology is not so advance you lose the meaning but advanced enough that you aren't feeling like a novice.

This is a well written introduction to American Business Law.
The level of English is low enough to concentrate on the content instead of translating the terms.
ESL people and those who like to read without being overcome with excessive language will enjoy this book.
Has a nice introduction on the source and purpose of law.

I bought this book for my business law class, and it covers the basics of business law. Its easy to understand and has case examples.

Lot of book is common knowledge. Chapters too long. Examples at end of chapters aren't very creative. Definitely a starter/intro level book.

From what I can tell this book does a great job compressing business law into very concise chapters. I for one don't like long drawn out chapters about the same subject matter. I lose interest after the first few hours of reading any text book. The chapters move quick enough to really make me feel interested in the subject. I use this book for a intro into business law and think is does a pretty decent job aiding my education.

If you're buying this book for yourself, spare yourself the headache. It is certainly not of any academic value, and considering what I've read so far, it does even appear to be a business law book. The book chronicles very simple and basic legal matters, and presents these topics in such a way, someone interested in a thorough discussion of them would likely become upset.

As I said before, unless you have a very basic interest in law, ignore this book as much as you can. Also, because the book is not state-specific, there's not much you can get out of the book. It presents general information, which is of no use to those who want to learn specifics.

I've given it two stars just because it would probably be good for a beginner.

I placed my order on a Saturday and received it on Thursday even though Labor Day was on Monday. Definitely recommend it.

This book was in excellent condition and the price was great. Received in plenty of time for my class.
