Far too little information for far too much money,
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding ERISA: A Compact Guide to the Landmark Act (Paperback)
This book was almost worthless to me. Admittedly, I'm an attorney, but I can't imagine that any reader could glean enough information from this spare tome to make the purchase worthwhile. I'll never purchase another book written by this author, or published by this publishing house, again. In a word, lousy.

Lacks Any Useful Detail,
This review is from: Understanding ERISA: A Compact Guide to the Landmark Act (Paperback)
I bought this book, among others, to help get me up to speed on the legal aspects of ERISA. However, the book was a huge disappointment. While it covers a wide-range of topics, the book's sparse details make it mostly worthless. If you are an attorney, law clerk or other legal professional, do NOT get this book.

This review is from: Understanding ERISA: A Compact Guide to the Landmark Act (Paperback)
There really isn't much in this book at all. It is only 131 pages so very 'compact' and the little writing there is appears to be spaced out to try and pad it out that far. I'm one of the lucky ones at least in that I ordered it second hand. I'd be pretty irritated if I paid full retail for this. Of little value regardless.
