Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Mallor, Barnes, Bowers and Langvardt�s: Business Law: The Ethical, Global, and E-Commerce Environment, 13e is appropriate for the two-term business law course. The cases in the 13th edition are excerpted and edited by the authors. The syntax is not altered, therefore retaining the language of the courts. As in the 12th edition, the 13th edition includes a mix of actual AND hypothetical cases. .

Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Poor introduction to business law and a perfect example of the abuse of the textbook industry
With my graduate studies winding down, this has to be the worst book I have been forced to buy. Mallour has written a book that has enough volume to last several classes, however, for me, this was for an MBA business law course. At 15+ pounds and 1300 pages, its weildy and gets into way to much detail as if the authors were paid by the pound and were desparately trying to fill the 1300 pages they produced. In all, there are 50+ chapters. The glossaries and indexes are incomplete and the example cases can go from a quarter page summary to 6 pages of dry detail. The defintions given were usually difficult to outline and highlight and the author's bizarre use of term highlighting with no definition confused me (Or worse, definined a term and did not highlight it. I found I had to use wikipedia very often to get a clear definition because the author either left out the defintition or went off on a tangent.
The professor insisted we needed this book because of the recent case law, multimedia and online ineteraction, however I found it hardly necessary. The book comes with an accompany DVD of very badly acted small claims like cases on some of the major topics (Most of which the professor disagreed with the outcome). None of the case examples seem to go beyond 2005 and the book seems to have fallen short of updating content from as far back as 2003 in the 13th edition, just released this year. The book also has the ability to gain acess to online content via an OLC card, but it is just a ploy to keep students from buying an offshore or used book. About the only good thing was the problems at the end of chapters (provided you got the answer sheet from the professor). If you are taking a business law class and it is not your major or emphasis, this book offers little value. Buy it used or find a prof that is using a more efficient book. Looks for mine for sale when it is used because this hiunk a junk serves no value after the class is done, Wikipedia is a much better reference.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great!
They were a great seller to deal with! I got my book in a short amount of time and it was in excellent condition. I hope I get to buy from them in the future!



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - good all-around book
This is a really good all-around business law book. At over 1200 pages and probably 15 pounds, its size might seem daunting but it's surprisingly easy to understand. The pages are dense with information so it takes a while to read but it's easy to follow the concepts. Some of the judges' written decisions in the case studies can be long and tedious so they can easily be skimmed over. I recommend it for business students.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Good textbook
I bought this book for my Business Law class. The problem of this book is not that it's not good, instead, is that it's too good to read. With tons of terms and actual court cases covered in the book, trying to finish the assigned chapter before class becomes a really challenging and, sometimes, frustrating task. On the other hand, if you really like this course, this may be the best business law textbook out there. You can really understand the logic behind the law and how the business law has developed to promote fair, justice, and ethic in the US through the reading. I give it a 4 star because 1) as others have mentioned, there are not too many things designed to help you read, like bold terms or spaces to take notes; 2) this book may not be the right one for those who just want to get an idea of biz law and get back to work.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Bad Service
Ordered this book from Byebyerealmccoy. Book never arrived. I needed this book for a Business law class and I nearly failed due to the bad service I received from Byebyerealmcccoy. I have not receied a reply to my e-mail I sent to them inquiring about the order.
