4.0 out of 5 stars In response to the review about "spelling errors", September 13, 2005
I am in Government Contracting and this book is very informative and can be used as a ver good tool.
Also in reference to the review talking about spelling errors, I'm not sure how old your dictionary is but "definitized" and "estopped" are words. Check Merriam-Webster, Online m-w.com.

3.0 out of 5 stars In a nutshell, February 28, 2008
This book was written for quick reference only. I was not impressed. It was written well, but boring. I did learn from, but I wish I would have tried something different.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly edited, author strays from purpose of nutshell., October 29, 2006
Nutshells are supposed to be simple, objective overviews of the law, but the author could not resist frequently inserting opinion and otherwise straying from the brief overview purpose of the text. The outline does not have any coherent structure. Lots of fluff, very little beef. Keep looking, don't buy this.
