No Brainer
I searched for this book in bookstores and libraries to justify the expense.The only place I could locate it was the law library of the U I'm attending.After reading other reviews and sceptic that I am, I checked it out to see whether it is a worthwhileinvestment.Since I had already created a couple templates on my own without any training or advice whatsoever, I found nothing in this book to enhance what I already know, and concluded it is not a value for my situation; however, for someone with little technical skill or technical understanding it is.

Great for what it is; but is that enough?
On the one hand, it's an excellent introduction to HotDocs: clear, concise, easy to follow, and not boring.On the other hand, it merely scratches the surface of what HotDocs can do, and seems written more to the end-user than anyone who wants to develop templates with it, which is where the power of HotDocs can really shine.I've gone through it twice now, and while I appreciate what it does, it's also fairly limited: you're left feeling more conversant with HotDocs than you probably should be; because when you try to write templates, you won't know enough to.(For that, hook up with the tutorial that comes with the software or find a consultant or trainer).There's a GREAT section at the back of the book where Bruce Miller gives the new HotDocs user advice about how to approach automating his or her practice.But as many others have pointed out, weighing in at a mere 5 oz., this book, like sushi, is high priced by volume.For an hour of time to learn about the material, though, with someone like Miller who knows it, it's probably a good value.

Just an Introduction
This book is really good for just getting the most basic functions out of the way.However, don't expect to be able to do much more that the most basic functions, and, by all means, don't throw away your big manual.The price was exorbitant for such a thin book! ... Read more

Dr. Washington is awesome!
Though the material is very dense, Dr. Washington does a wonderful job demonstrating the impact that various actors have on the passage of public policy.Between the book and her lectures I'll be able to explain how the machine that is our legislative branch works to my students.Great case study, great professor! ...
