I realize that many of you buying this book won't have a choice about it--it's probably required for a class you are taking and don't much care how good or bad the book it because you need it regardless. However, for those of you who do have a choice:

This textbook has 9 Parts (Intro to law, Contracts, Sales, Agency and Employment, Business Organizations, Property, Commerial Paper, Credit Transactions, Government Regulation) with a total of 48 chapters.

The format of the book, along with the firgures and tables, makes the book easy to read. When applicable, there is a case relating the law described to a real-world situation or a box with ethical considerations and questions. Additionally, the problems at the end of each chapter explore the issues and make students think of both sides of the arguement.

However, in certain areas when describing the law, the text can be vague. The authors could do better making it clear when and how a law is applicable. There are many times when doing the problems where I would look up the case or the issues involved online to get a complete picture.

Overall, a good textbook, especially with supplemental material to be given during lecture.

In my opinion, this is the finest business law textbook on the market. It contains well-edited cases for discussion, cogent analysis of policy and legal history, and easy-to-read flowcharts that help students go through the legal reasoning steps.

It is extremely user friendly to both the lay student and instructor. In addition to the core contract law chapters, it contains chapters summarizing all the main substantive areas of law (and even contains a chapter on the new field of Cyberlaw).

The supporting instructor materials and test bank are excellent. I highly recommend this text. It is well worth the price.

The authors are professors from the Indiana University School of Business, one of the top 5 business schools in the world.

I like this textbook a lot even though it's a textbook. It uses a lot of sample trials to further explain and clarify points of interest. My one dislike about the book is the treatment of vocabulary. There are some words that are in bold in the text, but they are not included in the glossary. Some words aren't defined directly in the text even though they are in bold, but they are included in the glossary; and some words that seem very important are only in italics. However, overall I think it does a really good job of making this information as clear and easy to understand as possible and I really like the example cases. The questions at the end of the chapters are also very useful and can help review the main points of the chapter.

i took this class, the cases used and presneted and done so in an informative manner, i learned a lot just by reading the text

This was a perfect book to study for the CLEP, and I passed easily. It wasn't what I expected, but it was what worked.

I gave this product a 5 start rating because it is just as the seller said it would be, and it was in good condition.

I am very pleased with the item I received. It arrived brand new, the condition in which the seller claimed.

This seller is definitely dependable, based on my experience!

I was very surprised when I received my textbook in the mail. Naturally it was packaged professionally however, it was actually better than its description. It was described as being used however, it shows no sign of use; as a matter of fact the binding was still intact. Not only did the book appear brand new, I can not do nothing but jump for joy over the price. I literally paid $50 less than what my school store was selling the textbook for. I was panicking at first because of the price in the school until a friend of mine recommended me checking Amazon.com. I surfed the net found Amazon to be the cheapest at the time of purchase. Thank you Amazon.com.

The book Law For Business arrived last night without any problems! I look forward to the class and giving you a review of the 10th edition of the book upon completion of the class.
