Globalization and need to know International Law
This book is essentially important for every business person dealing in international arena and every student seeking careers in multinational businesses. The author covers almost all aspects of governing laws related to international trade. My personal statement would be that this book is not to just read but to use it in everyday's practices as a desk reference.

Best help for international business lawpractitioners
This is the best book I've ever read about international business law. It is a very good guide to all issues concerning international law since the choice of a applicable law for a contract passing through contract contents, labor and taxes international legislation, ethics and finishing with the very new cyber law. This is a book to be read for specialists in both international law and international business, but also for practitioners of international trade.We have adodpted this book in our course of International Business Law at Universidad del Istmo in Guatemala. The best book I have consulted in the field. ... Read more

Diane Kennedy's the Bomb!
I heard her speak at a recent eBay convention & she's a great speaker with great ideas.The book is a must-read for anyone contemplating selling on eBay.She is a professional with good, sound advice.

Great Book, lots of good tips!
Very useful for online sellers and anyone getting some kind of income from casual ebay sales or any other comparable site. Lots of money saving tax tips.

5+++++ stars!!!!
Even if you don't have an Ebay business, this book is so informative for those of us who just don't understand the behind-the-business scene. My husband and I have had a business for years and FINALLY, I now understand what the heck an "S" corporation is and why we have one, as opposed to the "c" corp that we used to have. I HIGHLY recommend this book to ANYONE starting a small business, whether its Ebay or not. Thanks to the authors for putting it in plain English. ... Read more

The Book to Get
I've just acquired several rental properties and needed a book that had tax information all in one place. I got a couple other books, but this one is the one that I use all the time. It's easy to read and understand while still explaining the nuances of tax law, and has good strategy and planning ideas for repairs/improvements etc. It also addresses what is and is not deductible as you are starting out (i.e. before you actually buy a property).
A must read!
This is a great book.It has the info, is easy to read and understand.I plan on reviewing this every year.Even if you have someone else do your taxes, it helps you in making business decisions with respect to taxes for your property.

How to maximize profits and stay legal.
Landlords know the main benefit of owning residential rental property is the many tax deductions which stem from such ownership, covering everything from improvements to expenses. This second edition has been updated to reflect the latest tax information and numbers: it covers everything from how to keep tax records and supporting documentation to deducting losses. Maximize profits and stay legal: keep EVERY LANDLORD'S TAX DEDUCTION GUIDE's latest edition on your desk.

Law and Ehtics in the Business Environment
I would have to compliment the teacher that picks this book for their course. The book is interesting and easy to read. The fact that most of the cases are from real life situations makes the reading more interesting and easy to follow! Great book.

Excellent Supplement
This book provides an excellent supplement to a regular college businesslaw text by exposing real world dilemmas, and how they were handled by thecourts.Can be used to generate discussion on ethical responsibilities,sexual harassment,and some aspects of agency law. ... Read more

Pricey but essential
Revised, expanded, and essential to anyone in the building industry because these codes apply across the board, including virtually all states in the US.The IBC has replaced state and other building codes.This volume provides information in the English measuring system. I prefer the looseleaf edition to the bound volume because it folds completely open and you can leaf through the pages more easily, as you are constantly being referred from one section to another.Of course you will want to update your other international code books as well. ...

This book did what it set out to do
This got us started on the road to our new biz, but what it lacked was real help filling out the State forms.Nolo has another book that does just that (and I recommend it if you are really looking for help with forms).If you are still in the decision making process as to which type of business you want to have (e.g. partnership, LLC, corporation types) and what it takes to run an LLC, this is one to keep on your shelf.My favorite part of this book, Nolo's Quick LLC, is a great chart delineating the differences between different types of businesses.

Great LLC Premer
This book and the accompaning book entitled "Form your LLC" are the best books that I have read on the subject. I was able to put an LLC together, run it by my attorney, and using the info for filing, set up my own LLC.Especially good are the suggestions for finding an attorney and tax man that will help you stay out of trouble.I recommend these books to anyone looking to set up an LLC.The publisher, NOLO PRESS, does a good job on all sorts of legal self help books.

Nolo's Quick LLC
Left a lot of questions unanswered.Gave reference to find more detail answers to questions about LLCs. Was hoping book would be an answer to all you ever wanted to know about LLC, but it wasn't.While it was helpful, I still had to get answers to some critical questions.I finally hired a lawyer that speciallizes in LLCs, Corporation, and Real Estate. ...

Mediocre
This edition is one of the better editions to come out. My professor didn't use the book in class, in fact he gave it bad reviews. We were advised to have the book to look up topics in more detail. We were also advised to study the chapter review questions, as they were used as test questions.
Buy It
An excelent source of information on Business Law. I had this book for my first college course in Business law and without it I might have failed. The book utalizes real cases and situations to explain virtualy every topic. The text is presented in a very clear and concise manner and applies to Business Law as practiced in America today. I personally have even used the information in this book to argue a case of my own in small claims and won. Im sure the other reviewer of this book just didn't take the time to study and learn the information. Rely on experience, not ramblings, buy this book!

Not understandable
I found the book to be confusing in most cases. It would seem as though it would make runaround in descriptions. It would try to explain things in to much detail, thereby confusing the hell out of you. ... Read more

Great Legal Guide / Reference
This book is incredibly thorough and it even points you to the relevant statutes in your state so you can look up the relevant laws. It is a great book. One thing to note is that all forms that you could want to edit are included on the CDROM as RTF files editable in any word processing program--a previous reviewer was wrong in saying that only PDF files were included on the CDROM.
Unuseable PDF forms
This book seems to have a wealth of information and includes a CD with numerous forms, the Word documents are very useful.The PDF forms are not.The problem is none of them are editable.Why even include them?Why not creat them in Word format?This is unsatisfactory and a complete waste of time.Why even provide the forms electronically if you can't customize them, you might as well buy a book with the paper forms and photo copy them.

Every Landlord's Legal Guide (Paperback)
Great Source of information and works well with the second book I bought called:Landlord's Rights & Duties In Florida, 10E

Worth its weight in gold!!!
This book should be on every employer's bookshelf! I am so impressed by how comprehensive, well organized, and easy to use it is. Steingold really knows what he's talking about, he explains all of the complex laws and regulations that trip up unprepared employers and result in expensive lawsuits. Thanks to this book I learned the best ways to comply with OSHA, wage-and-hour laws, sexual harassment and discrimination laws, the Americans with Disabilities Act and many many more. You owe it to yourself to know your rights and responsibilities as an employer and to protect your company from needless litigation.

A mile wide and several feet deep
An excelent, readable, survey of the law on this topic.The greatest strengths of the book are two-fold.First, it is written in easy to follow, plain english.Second, it is amazingly comprehensive.I have been practicing employment law in two millenia, and this is the book that I use (after reviewing dozens) to teach non-lawyer classes on the topic. As with any survey book, it doesn't cover the details of the many topics it touches.You don't want to use this book to deal with comprehensive planning or an employment law dispute.But if you read this book you'll understand much of the language and many of the concerns of the experienced human resources professional or lawyer that you need.

Protect your business from employee and government law suits
Here is the book that will teach you what you need to know to keep compliance with the law and protect your business.Easy to read and comprehend, this book will help you promote fair business practices and avoid lawsuits.Folks, there are many laws most business people don't know about.This book will bring you up to speed.It's a necessity for the small and large business alike. ...

Nice supplement...
I am taking a federal income tax course that uses a textbook which consists mainly of court cases.. and written in hard-to-understand "judicial language". We discuss the cases and go over the problem-solving questions at such a fast pace that sometimes I just blindly jot down notes and try to make sense of them afterwards.
A must for a policy-heavy law school tax class
Clear and concise, helpful explanations. Great for a general tax course. If you are using the ..., Bankman, et al textbook, this is is MUST. If you are studying business tax (unless home/small business), this is not the book for you. Griffith rocks!!!

Tax
This book is helpful in regards to giving you a general overview of the material.However, I purchased this book to better understand annuities, discharge of indebtedness and section 1031 of the tax code.These were the topics that the authors did a horrible job of explaining.Unfortunately, these topics are very important.I have only read up to the start of chapter 3 in this book and I am worried that further reading will only further confuse me.

Valuable New information for Mediators
This newly revised edition of The Promise of Mediation offers a wealth of new information on the priniciples of transformative conflict intervention.Many readers may not be aware that the revised edition actually contains almost entirely new material, reflecting new understandings of transformative mediation that have developed since the publication of the first edition.Bush and Folger offer new specifics for practice in the transformative framework of mediation through a carefully analyzed case study, in which we can see details of the "small steps" of conflict transformation.They also discuss the impact that the transformative movement has had on the field as a whole, and debunk some common misconceptions about the transformative framework.I have especially enjoyed the last chapter, which addresses, more completely than anything in the first edition, the deep underlying values that have led to the articulation of a transformative vision for mediation, and looks at possibilities for the future of the field.
A Huge Step Forward in the Art and Science of Mediation
I'm grateful to the authors for the significant advance in mediation thinking that this book represents.This new edition has the potential to move the entire field toward a deeper, more powerful understanding.With the original edition, and again with this one, Bush and Folger have provided great clarity to a topic that, until now, has been muddled.While other mediators and writers succumb to the pressures of conflict and become part of the problem, these authors instruct us on how to remain true to the most important principles that lead to deep healing of human conflict.If I had the need, I would only hire a mediator who had read, studied, understood and embraced this book. ...
