This review is from: Child Welfare Law And Practice: Representing Children, Parents, And State Agencies in Abuse, Neglect, And Dependency Cases (Paperback)

I needed this book for a one week intensive class at my law school. I forgot to order my textbook in advance and realized my error Thursday afternoon. I ordered the book, and it was across the country in my mailbox by Saturday! Just in time for my class. THe book was in new condition with no weird problems (like random missing pages which happens more than people would think!) Thanks for the great customer service.
