5.0 out of 5 stars
The best legal guide for writers.

Great book-if you have a law degree (very dense reading)
I am about to be a published author. (scheduled for the summer of 2000) My hero is William Zinsser, author of On Writing Well. I like him because he writes so...well. Mr. Crawford needs to read Zinsser's book-several times. To be fair, Mr. Crawford's Legal Guide is organized and thorough, but the wording is stiff and technical. I feel as though I am reading a...

This review is from: The Writer's Legal Guide (2nd ed) (Hardcover)
I am about to be a published author. (scheduled for the summer of 2000) My hero is William Zinsser, author of On Writing Well. I like him because he writes so...well. Mr. Crawford needs to read Zinsser's book-several times. To be fair, Mr. Crawford's Legal Guide is organized and thorough, but the wording is stiff and technical. I feel as though I am reading a college law (or business) text book. He has no humor. I have an urge to drag out my yellow highlighter because there will be a test later. I am convinced I can read about anything if the material is well written. Mr. Crawford is always grammatically correct, but I have to work too hard to understand him. Legal Guide would be a wonderful book if you have a background in law or business. Since I have neither, I recommend Bunnin and Berens, The Writer's Legal Companion. The style is friendlier for new authors who lack experience in the business of contracts, copyright and publishing.
