Better guides are available Book Guru This is probably the worst of the guides available for bankruptcy law. It seems to have been put together in a hurry, maybe to be the first guide on the market to address the 2005 amendments.

I thought the book was well-organized and appreciated its explanation of confusing code sections. I wish I had purchased this book earlier in the semester since using it thoughout the class would have been beneficial. Summary: Much like other Nutshells - very helpful!. Good Nutshell Edward J.

The book is divided into two general themes - about a third is on general creditor law, including state court remedies and receiverships. The second two-thirds is on bankruptcy, and Professor Epstein does a great job covering both consumer and business bankruptcy, focusing on Chapters 7, 11 and 13. He is consistent in referencing code sections and providing concrete examples of application. The nutshell is light on
