5.0 out of 5 stars Business Law - Didnt think it could be simplified and easy, 9 Feb 2004
By A Customer
when i picked this book up i thought that it was too high a price to pay for a book on an area for which other books cost a fraction of the price. upon inspection i found this book to be very easy and concise to read it is all perfectly laid out so that reference to it is neat.

Well worth price paid. if you want to buy it for cheaper check out the internetunder the 'books' tab its £price cheap huh!

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, 7 Mar 2009
By JC "W" (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Business Law (Paperback)
I purchased this book for a university module; Introduction to Business Law. The book was on the recommended reading list and I found it really helpful. The book was well laid out and easy to navigate. The authors had made the text easy to understand, unlike some law books which can be very heavy going for novices.
