This book is a basic one with good general facts, but many of the bankruptcy laws have changed since 1994 when the book was published.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book on Bankruptcy, September 27, 2000
By 
Stanley E. Soper (Belmont, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Consumer Bankruptcy: The Complete Guide to Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Personal Bankruptcy (Paperback)
I have reviewed a lot of books on consumer bankruptcy -- and this one is the best. It is comprehensive, up-to-date and accurate. If you are thinking about bankruptcy, are owed money by someone who has filed for bankruptcy (or who might file for bankruptcy) or if you have filed for bankruptcy -- you should buy it. You won't regret it.
