4.0 out of 5 stars
In response to the review about "spelling errors",
This review is from: Government Contracts in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series) (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: Government Contracts In A Nutshell (In a Nutshell (West Publishing)) (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: Government Contracts In A Nutshell (In a Nutshell (West Publishing)) (Paperback)
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.
