This book is just OK. It's definitely written from/for an HR person, not a law student, although it's absolutely full of cases which makes it a bit difficult to read. The general approach is to present a topic and then give real case examples. The topic information is often, in my opinion, a bit short and could be easily expanded to explain the critical points the cases are trying to enforce / develop. The cases themselves make the book long and difficult to read, mostly because you have to read the back story and legal argument to get to the reason why it was included in a particular chapter. Also, I do find it a bit preachy... summaries and quick examples often tell you not just about the law, but about how certain things are morally right and wrong. If this is for a class, you're stuck.. if you want a good HR / Law book, you might want to try another book.

The seller over stated the condition of this book, the seller stated "it almost new", the book was used and very shabby, the sellers should be honest about the conditions of products that are sold.

One of the best textbooks I've even gotten. I'm actually sad to part with it becuase it's got a TON of useful information that I know I'm going to wish I had to refer back to in the future. Otherwise it's written and laid out very straight-forward and easy to read. A+++++

This is a very useful employment law textbook. This book is a valuable read for many students as well as those who wish to learn more about labor law and human resources law. If you are an expert in the field you might not find this book to be as useful.

The book was in excellent condition. It had very little highlights in it. I would definitely by from this seller again.

Ordered used book on a sunday night and received it on wednesday using expedited shiping;book in better condition than expected.I would use the company again if needed.

This book came in the condition it stated on the site(like new), and it came in a TIMELY MANNER. I will be using them to order future textbooks--definitely. The costs savings was over $100!!

I purchased this book used, it was recieved in a timely fashion and its in great condition. There is no writing or torn pages.

I loved this book; granted I am a Human Resource major who loves law but seriously this book was very well put together. I actually read every word of this book and I can't say that about any other class/book. The way the explained things was easy to understand and kept you interested with lots of examples. I will be keeping this book for future reference!

I had to read this for a class and found it easy to read, but really out of date. Although revised in December of 2001, there is so much it left out in terms of changes in technology and 9/11 that I wonder how thoroughly it was updated.

If you're buying it, most probably you have to. Ask your professor to find a more current edition, but one that's as interesting and easy a read as this one, and you'll do fine in your class!
