5.0 out of 5 stars Just starting out, August 9, 2007

By	Valerie Delgado "Catching Up On Some Reading" (Washington DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent bottom of the line book. First textbook I've read front to back. It really does a great job of simplifying legal jargon. I might be a little bias as law school is my dream.

Even thought the product was in great condition and was offered at a great price, I managed to find a free copy of this book from a friend, so I had to return the book. The return procedure was very easy and there was absolutely no hassle! I would highly recommend this store!

The 2007 OnLine Research Guide was not included as promised. I wrote the seller regarding this and got no response.
