2.0 out of 5 stars Great, but Out of Date, October 29, 2007
By 
Marin Joe (San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This is a fantastic book (binder) for anyone who wants a good history of old Title Insurance law.

Unfortunately, and in spite of regular "updates" since the first printing (the most recent in 2006), the author completely ignores Homeowner's Policies of Title Insurance - the ALTA / CLTA policies that are now standard in many jurisdictions.

These new policies include a much broader array of covered risks, as well as significant after-the-policy-date coverage, but none of this is covered in the book. So if you want to fight an old fight, or study history, this is a good purchase. But if you want a good review of current policies, you'll have to go elsewhere.

To date, the best up-to-date book I've found on this subject is Miller & Starr, California Real Estate 3D, but even this is somewhat vague when it comes to applying the new policies to practical situations.
