This book was my primary source when I was preparing for the CLA exam. Coherent, organized and thoughtful, it is a "must buy" for CLA candidates. Until my book was borrowed (and not returned) by another legal assistant, the manual served as a handy reference manual in my practice.

4.0 out of 5 stars CLA Review Manual: A Practical Guide to CLA Exam Preparation, May 21, 2007

Good and comprehensive. I have no problem with the substantive value, however, the finish of the pages was raged and not trimmed properly. One part was extended way beyond the cover. Is this because Amazon gives a discount? Not something I appreciate in a book I will keep in my library for life. The prior issue was a better-quality product.

I really enjoyed this book. It is super helpful, but apparently the third edition was released just October 2010. I'm not sure what the difference is, but I wouldn't pay the same price for an older version of the book.
