Customer Reviews
The "boring-ist" book you'll ever have to read, but...
Obviously, this book would not be at the top of my summer reading list, but it is required reading for my Business Law class.
Although the legal jargon can be daunting, it tends to insert humorous examples and case studies in at the most unexpected times- just enough to keep it halfway interesting. Good for what it is, but I would suggest taking an accelerated version of this class if available.
Great price
I needed this textbook for a summer class, so I didn't want to pay a lot but I wanted a good book. It was brand new and even with shipping it cost about $65 less than buying it at a bookstore in town, which was so worth it. I also got the book the next day in the mail with next day shipping, so I didn't really even have to wait. So worth it.
Textbook
The Legal Environment of Business is a good textbook. I will use it for two classes. It has a lot of information that has helped me better understand some of the government areas.
