Obviously, this book would not be at the top of my summer reading list, but it is required reading for my Business Law class.

Although the legal jargon can be daunting, it tends to insert humorous examples and case studies in at the most unexpected times- just enough to keep it halfway interesting. Good for what it is, but I would suggest taking an accelerated version of this class if available.

So I purchased the Kindle version of this book, and it is only available to read on the Kindle. It cannot be read on the Kindle for PC software, nor on the iPhone. I also assume it cannot be read on the blackberry. I guess it is some sort of licensing thing, but I am not sure.

Concerning the content of the book, it seems pretty straightforward, and the explanations are clear.

Too bad about not being able to read this Kindle version on multiple formats.

The Legal Environment of Business is a good textbook. I will use it for two classes. It has a lot of information that has helped me better understand some of the government areas.

This book is okay. I think it focuses too much on the what rather than the why of business law. While what is the law matters at any one point in time, understanding the why leads to a longer term understanding of its evolution and any changes that occur. The questions after each chapter are often too similar and fail to truly present more than one critical thinking problem. Moreover, it presents matter in such away as that the course of litigation appears black and white and predictable...which does not do justice to the intricacies of the system and the uncertainty that inheres in it.

The book arrived in one week which is in great conditions no negative comments it was a pleasure doing business

This was a good buy. It was expensive as crap when I could have just bought last years version... But it sure looks fancy and has good material. seller was good, on time n errything.

I was very worried about ordering thru this website, but I figured with the prices I can try it. I am so happy that I did. Not only did I receive the book waaay before noted, the book was in Excellant condition(even though it noted in fair condition)!

I had to purchase this for a legal class in my MBA program. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The material was easy to absorb, even for someone with little pre-knowledge of law.

It served as a wonderful overview, providing high level detail that is easily searched using the index. The case studies are good illustrations of the points within the chapters. The questions at the end give the student or reader the ability to apply what is learned in the previous chapter.

I would recommend this to anyone that is looking to learn a good bit about a broad variety of law topics.

I needed this textbook for a summer class, so I didn't want to pay a lot but I wanted a good book. It was brand new and even with shipping it cost about $65 less than buying it at a bookstore in town, which was so worth it. I also got the book the next day in the mail with next day shipping, so I didn't really even have to wait. So worth it.

The book arrived in excellent condition. Delvery was five calendar days after I placed the order. I am very satisfied. I saved $80.00 buying my book this way as opposed to buying through the college bookstore.
