3.0 out of 5 stars A VERY simplified look at the construction law theme, January 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Simplified Guide to Construction Law (Paperback)
This book offers good one liner explanations as well as simple examples on several topics dealing with construction. I recomend it as a starting point but not as a refernce book dealing with the construction law topic.
