A) Why is there a whole law class on cashing checks? B) Why is the subject so convoluted and obnoxious??? This Gilberts was useful in that it gave diagrams and drawings to illustrate points. The first two chapters were helpful and (somewhat) easy to understand. The later chapters on bank deposits and electronic banking give light to the future of this subject (and future bar exam questions). However, the longest chapter, "Liability of the Parties" was the most confusing. It should have had more diagrams and would have been better as two chapters. But this Gilbert's help me understand this nefarious topic more than any other legal aid.

this book was just what i needed to get a good understanding of the mamy rules involved in negotiations. It's a little outdated, but it's a concise and practical outline of what I needed to know.

If you're a law student, Gilbert's is a MUST for all your classes. It gives the black letter law in an easy to read format. What more could you ask for in a supplement? Plus there are handy dandy little charts to help you remember things and practice questions at the end. Gilbert's rocks...there are a lot of other supplements out there, but this one is by FAR the best.

I cannot understate how valuable this book has been as a reference for my Payment Systems outline. Life saver!

Like most Gilberts, its useful if you need more practice or are missing the basic picture.

In particular, it helped me understand the dozens of unanswered questions we had after my professor's confusing lectures.

This book wasn't horrible. However, it prevents you from doing what you really need to do to learn the subject and be exam ready... READING THE CODE. The practice questions aren't that great either. It does provide some structure for a confusing topic.

I read through E & E after this and liked it more.
