OMGDYHAIHCTI!!!!

Dude! You can actually see the elements! There are these tiny little atoms swirling around, and they're just right there! I didn't even know that Bankruptcy was on the periodic table! The picture does NOT do this product justice! Buy it! I swear you won't regret it!

Good Overview of Bankrutpcy

This is a well written book that does a nice job of covering all of the basic chapters underwhich a debtor may seek relief from creditors under the United State's Bankruptcy Code. This is a good choice for students with an interest in general bankruptcy. For a book that is dedicted to Business Reorganizations under Chapter 11, I recommend.Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers. These books are so fairly priced, I would get both.

Outstanding introduction to bankruptcy law

At once rigorous yet lucid, comprehensive yet short, this is one of the best introductions to bankruptcy law out there. The author masterfully surveys the case law and the logical structure of each of the key areas of bankruptcy law. One of the best features of the book is its structure of individual chapters dedicated to important parts of the law like Bankruptcy Estate, Claims against the Estate, Executory Contracts, Fraudelent Conveyance, Preferences, DIPs, etc. Each chapter is no more than 20 pages, allowing the reader to get a very good birds-eye view of each topic.While this is a high-level survey of the law, it is still one of the best books to read to develop a framework to tackle the more detailed aspects of the law. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a solid introduction to this field.
