Allworth Press, 2003

Our small graphic design firm had been relying on the legal forms and contracts from this book for about one year. Finally, we decided that perhaps we ought to visit with a lawyer to make sure we were doing it right...$560.00 later for an initial consultation, we realized that this $29.95 book was the best business investment we'd ever made! The lawyer confirmed that the contracts that we had ...

Gilbert Law Summaries: Contracts3 reviews
Melvin Aron Eisenberg
Gilberts Law Summaries, 2002
Excellent Supplement
I just finished my Contracts final, but I will not blame my grade on this book.
This does what it is supposed to. It supplements the material that the Prof. presents in class. If you are not sure what the modern rule is, this is where you go. If you are not sure if there is an exception, this is where you go. If you are not sure what the basic functions of the rule is, this is where you ...

Spies for Hire: The Secret World of Intelligence Outsourcing 7 reviews
Tim Shorrock
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Good Intentions, Bad Results
This book appears to be a compilation of articles that together reveal the excessive use of private contractors by the major agencies of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC). According to its author, the IC public officials in many cases have abdicated their duties to the public in favor of private contractors whose loyalties are divided between the public good and corporate profits. In any type ...

Trading Options For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance)) 3 reviews
George A. Fontanills
For Dummies, 2008
Good for wrapping up loose ends
What this book lacks in detail, it makes in subject completeness.
There are dozens and dozens of great websites out there describing options and trading strategies in far better depth and completeness than this book. So, if you're looking for complex spreads or techniques, this book will not satisfy you.
However, online searches are so saturated in trading strategies that it's actually ...

Investing in Real Estate With Lease Options and "Subject-To" Deals : Powerful Strategies for Getting More ...28 reviews
Wendy Patton
Wiley, 2005
Lease options & subject to's
Fight The Good Fight I've been to a Wendy Patton seminar. She is a great teacher. Her material on lease options and subject to's are excellent resources. With her it's not all about selling you a $5,000 course. She actually provides valuabe information for the price of the book. I can't say the same about some of the other real estate guru's.

Icc Publishing
ICC Publishing, 1999

This is the book that will be translated into multiple languages for everyone in the world to read. You really can't ask for more. However, if you are new to Incoterms, don't expect to understand it ...

Bridge for Bright Beginners2 reviews
Terence Reese
Dover Publications, 1973
Why doesn't everyone teach bridge this way?
This little book uses a teaching strategy that one might think would be obvious: Explain what problems mean before showing readers how to solve them. The way it does so is to show how to play a hand before talking about bidding. I remember how frustrated I was when I first learned how to play bridge: I had a bunch of rules dumped on me about how to bid, and had no conception of whether or ...

The Contract Negotiation Handbook: An Indispensable Guide for Contract Professionals 4 reviews
Stephen Guth
Lulu.com, 2007
I hope you don't have one the next time we meet across the negotiation table.
[Disclaimer: I'm Stephen's friend and we talk frequently about these topics.]
The simple truth is that there aren't that many good resources available for people who negotiate contracts, and virtually none of them are written for someone who is a contract professional and sees vendor ploys on a consistent basis. This would seem to not necessarily be a huge deal - you wouldn't think that a ...

Joseph M. Perillo, John D. Calamari
West Group, 2003
Mutual Mistake, The Mailbox Rule, and Other Legal Fictions
"Hornbooks" are summaries of a body of law used by angst-ridden law students to amplify and clarify the often arcane materials contained in Casebooks. The law of Contracts is one of the primary building blocks of a first year legal education, along with Property and Torts. Almost every 1L has a small library of these dark green encyclopedic volumes that weigh in by the kilogram.

Request for Proposal: A Guide to Effective RFP Development (Addison-Wesley Information Technology Series)14 reviews
Bud Porter-Roth
Addison-Wesley Professional, 2001
Resource and guidelines with a coherent approach
There are literally hundreds of good books on proposal writing, but only a tiny handful on writing RFPs. From among the handful this book stands out for a number of reasons: (1) It clearly described the RFP process from start to finish - and RFP development is a process with a defined life cycle. (2) The author goes well beyond the immediate objective of writing an RFP and managing the process by ...

This Book Really Will Teach You How to Make Money -- Buy It!
I've heard good things about Thomas Lucier's books, so I approached this one with high expectations and he didn't let me down. He illuminates the argument for this powerful investing tool -- namely, real estate options.
