Worst E&E Book Out There
This is easily the worst book in the E&E series.

Not bad, but the worst of the series
I've read 11 or so of the Examples and Explanations books while in Law School.For the most part, the series is great.The material is broken down into sections that make sense and the important points are made and remade with the examples.
Highly recommended
The questions and explanations in this book are clear and very helpful. They are organized in a logical fashion and help you work progressively through problems in Article 9 transactions. ... Read more

Seething Chaos Reduced to a Haiku
This book is THE key to aceing securities.All the E&E's are outstanding, but this is really a gem.Somehow, Palmiter has reduced the seething chaos of securties law to a virtual haiku of brevity and clarity.I had no prior background in finance but it got me an A.I used this book, Ratner's Nutshell, the textbook, and an outline I inherited from a graduating 3L.The textbook was terrible.The Nutshell was ok, but this book made it superfluous.And, as i read the outline, I came to realize that it was actually abstracted and condensed from this book.This subject could be taught from this book alone.Do yourself a favor and spend the money, it will save you time.

Very, very helpful
I just reviewed the Aspen textbook on Securities Law by Cox, et al., where I noted that if you must use that textbook, you should also have a study aid.This is the study aid I chose, and it is a lifesaver.Securities law is a tough, statutory-heavy subject.This study aid is really helpful because it explains the poorly written SEC statutes with ease.It is somewhat dense because securities law is technical; however, it is also clear, which is why it is valuable.Like the other E & E books, it offers problems & answers.This is another valuable feature to this book -- working through problems is a great way to learn the material.I recommend this study aid highly. ...

I am please, with the book condition and delivery!!
I requested the book to be expedite and it arrived as expected. The book was in great condition. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Excelent and Practical!!
This book not only gives you a broad idea of what security is, but is very practical using it in your work, e.g. risk analysis. It is helping me a lot. The Design and Evaluation of Physical Protection Systems
The recent tragedy of New York and Washington has emphasised the considerable need for this excellent book on physical security. Mary Lynn Garcia is to be congratulated on producing a book on physical protection systems that is design-based and is driven by principle rather than application. As a senior member of the technical staff at Sandia National laboratories, Mary Lynn Garcia is well placed to have knowledge of best practice in design of systems, and the development of principles of asset protection. This book is markedly unique from other security publications on the market as it provides a well-structured and rigorous discussion of the major components of the principles of the protection of assets. The book entitled The Design and Evaluation of Physical Protection Systems by Mary Lynn Garcia has raised the standard of security references and texts to new quantum levels of quality and detail.Read more

Good, to the point, technical overview - A must read for any manager
I am trying to educate myself on the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) and bought this, and another book by Scott Green to get started."What is Sarbanes-Oxley", is an excellent starting place.At just over 100 pages, the book gives an overview of the sections of the Act (404, 302, etc.) one needs to know in order to navigate through the terms, terminology and subtleties of the Act.
Disappointing
I needed to know more about Sarbanes-Oxley for work and ordered this book.While I was waiting for it to arrive, I went onto the Internet and downloaded some information, including the text of the legislation itself.
Finance Manager
This book provided a brief overview and was short on application which I required.Perhaps the books intent did not comply with my needs.However,"Manager's Guide to Sarbanes Oxley Act" proved valuable and aided in presentation to our managers group for the need for internal controls. ... Read more

when they priced the product.
