The book covers a reasonable amount of material in a logical manner, and the case selection is instructive. The selections are a bit dry, especially considering how many interesting real-life examples of corporate malfeasance there must be to choose. The book's real problem is that it seems like it was edited by a drunk with hyperopia. I have never seen so many typos in a textbook before. There are even whole sentences which were obviously meant to be deleted, but weren't. The last half of p. 492 (Section 12.7.4) is a mess, for example. I would not recommend this edition, but if a new one comes out with acceptable quality control, I would probably give it 4 stars.

I was able to take the course with the author, which was a nice bonus. I like that the book is shorter than most casebooks but still teaches a lot of info--it's just in a concise manner, which I appreciate.

Good condition, no issues at all. Just a few notes written on the book but that didnât make much difference to me.

Page 108 direct quote "If you don't understand this, ask in class." It's a $200+ textbook... maybe the author should explain concepts so that students can be prepared for class. Overall, it is terribly written and very confusing. Professors should stop using this book.
