Just what it said it is.......2001-07-27
I wanted to find out about Venture capitalists and Angels. This book provided the information in a clear and readable format. I was not disappointed.
easy way of Finding Money.......2000-11-07
I have read alot of books that are concerning money, investing, loans, etc. But the best book that I have read is Finding Money, The Small Business Guide to Financing. This was written by Kate Lister and Tom Harnish. Finding Money is fantastic and this publication provides accurate and authoritative information. I would keep a copy of this book for references now and in the future. Good book, well worth buying.
Best of its kind.......2000-02-06
This is the best book of its kind I have found. Not only does this book contain a tremendous amount of information, it is presented in such a clear, organized and logical way that it can't help provide effective guidance to even the most uninitiated. Forget the obtuse, textbook-style books you might be struggling with, this is the book you need if you are trying to find money for your business.
Help find the money I needed.......1999-12-25
Bought this book and the authors' other book "The Directory of Venture Capital" and found the money I needed. Previous review is right, the first reviewer obviously didn't read thisbook. It's to the point, no bull. But it if you're looking for money but don't know where to turn or how to go about it
Outstanding, to the point, source for finding money.......1999-10-08
Who ever wrote that one star review obviously hadn't read this terrific book. Seriously! There's four quotes in the whole book! Unlike other books full of stories and platitudes about small business this book tells it straight. After an overview of the difference between debt (loans) and equity (venture) capital...and what it takes to qualify for either, the book provides an indepth look at how to do your homework so you can getg the money you need. And it worked for me. If the book has a flaw it's the no BS, straight to the point style, but that suited me just fine. I'm busy running a business and wanted the meat so I can get on with it, not the relish, and Finding Money delivered big time. Not just who has the money, but details on how they look at you and how they decide if you're worthy of consideration for funding. If you read >this
< book you won't be disappointed.

Book Description
This analysis of how and why businesses buy outside legal services provides useful insights for businesses and law firms alike. In-house legal buyers at both Fortune 100 and new economy companies provide concrete examples of how some businesses have successfully and creatively restructured their in-house legal departments and their relationships with outside law firms. Included are many examples of firms that have successfully developed business and an examination of why other law firms fail at this important task. The subtle nuances that affect legal buying decisions and the impact of corporate globalization, law firm mergers, and the advent of multidisciplinary practice groups are also explored.
Customer Reviews:
An extraordinary insight into law firm marketing process.......2002-06-07
In a realm of law firm marketing literature that so often fails to understand the unique qualities of the legal profession and how lawyers relate to their markets, this book goes more deeply and intelligently into the mindset of corporations and how they purchase legal services. Where most marketing books go into the mechanics of the marketing process and miss the point about the subtleties of the process, Smith goes to the core of the process with a kind of sophistication rarely seen in law firm marketing literature. This book is essential to every law firm that wants to understand its markets and how people buy their services.

Book Description
Legalines gives you authoritative, detailed briefs of every major case in your casebook. You get a clear explanation of facts, the issues, the court's holding and reasoning, and any significant concurrences or dissents. Even more importantly, you get an authoritative explanation of the significance of each case, and how it relates to other cases in your casebook. And with Legalines' detailed table of cases, you can quickly find any case or concept you're looking for.
But your professor expects you to know more than just the cases. That's why Legalines gives you more than just case briefs. You get summaries of the black letter law as well. That's crucial because some of the most important information in your casebooks isn't in the cases at all… it's the black letter principles you're expected to glean from those cases.
Legalines is the only study aid that gives you both case briefs and black letter review. With Legalines, you get everything you need to know - whether it's in a case or not!
Customer Reviews:
Essential Reading.......2007-01-31
I don't know how I could have finished law school without the study aids! This is a fairly good one. If you prefer an electronic copy, I'd suggest the e-Legalines for Contracts (which has an updated version of this study aid).
Helpful for Concept Explanation.......2005-10-06
It doesn't follow all the casebook law, but is clear about concept explanation.
a must.......2000-11-27
if your using the farnsworth contracts book, this is a must. it is the most important purchase that i have made all semester. it goes through all of the cases in the book, as well as the black letter of the law. it is an excellent resource material to use when finals roll around. purchase this book at the begining of the semester and use it as a review periodically.

Product Description
Suitable for use in combination with any law school contract text or casebook, the 2007 Edition of Selections for Contracts: Statutes, Restatement Second, Forms compiles the major statutes, forms, and other materials affecting contract law. The supplement provides Uniform Commercial Code Articles 1 and 2; the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act; Restatement of the Law, Second, of Contracts; the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts; and selected forms. Highlights of the 2007 Edition include: The presentation of Article 1 of the Uniform Commercial Code has been reorganized inasmuch as more than half of the states have now enacted revised Article 1. Both versions of Article 1 are presented. In each case, though, the presentation is abridged by the elision of provisions not relevant to contract law under the Uniform Commercial Code. As in previous editions, both the current version of Article 2 and the proposed amendments promulgated in 2003 are included. The presentation of the proposed amendments has been clarified by indicating proposed changes from current law by underlines and strikeouts. In addition, recent technical amendments to the text of the proposed amendments have been incorporated. Of course, in light of the failure (to date) of states to enact the proposed amendments, the main educational role served by their inclusion in the materials is to enable "compare and contrast" discussions rather than to exemplify the current state of the law. Materials on electronic commerce (the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the federal ESIGN Act) have been added. The presentation of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts has been updated to reflect the current version. New section on Selected Contracts and Agreements providing actual contracts from well-known cases, such as Wood v. Lucy, Peevyhouse v. Garland Coal Mining Co., Dalton v. ETS, and Bloor v. Falstaff Brewing Co.

Book Description
This fascinating narrative recounts the history of astronomy and, with more than 100 full-color illustrations, it shows readers how to find the planets and constellations in the night sky. In ancient times, people thought that the Sun, Moon, and stars were gods. They recorded their movements and imagined that the stars made pictures in the sky. The Greeks and the Romans related these "pictures" of animals and men—or constellations—to their legends. They also identified planets and named them for their gods—Venus, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter. Their observations marked the first step in the development of astronomy, which today is a sophisticated science. Modern astronomers have followed the tradition of naming heavenly bodies after ancient gods. For instance, the solar system's outer planets weren't identified until after the telescope's invention, but with their discoveries they were named after Uranus, a Greek god of the sky . . . Neptune, the Roman god of the sea . . . and Pluto, the Roman god of the underworld. The author recounts the legends connected with many constellations, including Aquarius, Aries, Cancer, Orion, and others. This beautifully illustrated book helps readers navigate their way around the night sky as they learn the significance of heavenly bodies' names. Color photos and illustrations throughout.
