Thanks for answering my questions about the book so promptly and also for the fast shipping.

It was a great deal!

The author's Sales (Article 2) E&E is much better than the Secured Transactions (Article 9) edition. Compared with other E&E books--Civ Pro, PR--this one was miserable.

This book is entirely practice problems. Each chapter has about one page of intro text and then all the rest is problems. This is fine if you just want something to work through, but I much prefer the model of other E&Es where you get a chapter of 5 or 10 pages that cover all the basics, and then a question section at the end. This particular format makes it too difficult to find any information quickly. And, of course, as with all other E&Es, the index is so utterly useless that it's actually more difficult to find material if you attempt to use it. You would be better off just opening at random until you find what you need.

P.S. If you are taking any UCC class, do yourself a huge favor and buy the White & Summers UCC hornbook.

This is a good example of how not write examples and explanations. This is the 5th E&E I own - and it is generally a good series. The examples in the Sec. Trans. book are too long [unnecessarily] and the explanations are are even longer. This contravenes the purpose of the series - CLARITY. The fact patterns and answers ought to be edited - and then book could be half the size and exponentially more clear. At that point it would probably be worth reading. Another book I liked better: Comprehensive Guide to Rev. Art. 9 by W. Gibson [200pgs; includes outlines and hypos/answers].

This book had 90 percent of what I needed to know for my final, in a concise and clear fashion. I've not read any of the other books in the E&E series, so I can't comment on other's complaints. The only thing that this book really does not touch on at all is 9-4XX, so I recommend learning these sections from an outline or your assigned course material.

This is easily the worst book in the E&E series.

I've read 11 or so of the Examples and Explanations books while in Law School. For the most part, the series is great. The material is broken down into sections that make sense and the important points are made and remade with the examples.

This book is probably the worst of the series that I've read. There are numerous spelling/editing mistakes. The author tries (and fails) to be funny to the point of distraction. The material leaves out some of the important rules that you'll need for the test. The interaction between this section of the UCC and the Bankrupcty Code is barely even mentioned. And, the section of the book on "Priority" is not nearly as strong as it needs to be. For the first time, my text book was actually more helpful than the E&E book.

I suppose I'd still recommend it, but don't rely on this exclusively when you're studying for the exam. This might be the type of class where legal flash cards, etc. would be more helpful.

This was an overall great transaction! The book was in perfect condition & came on time!

The questions and explanations in this book are clear and very helpful. They are organized in a logical fashion and help you work progressively through problems in Article 9 transactions.

Unlike the other reviewer, I will review THIS book, and not criminal procedure... Early into commercial law I gave up on my befuddling casebook and esoteric class lectures. I committed myself to thoroughly covering 10 pages of this book a day, and completed the book in a month and a half. I knew the material cold and got an "A" - it was my last law school exam and thanks to this book I went out on top! Seriously, this book is a winner and U.C.C. classes can be very tedious, especially when you take it as a 3L and are struggling to maintain your focus with graduation so close. I also used the Gilbert's Sec. Trans. outline, which was very slender and right to the point at a little over 100 pages. Of course 100 pages of U.C.C. is like 300 pages of torts or property, but that is beside the point. I usually avoided Gilbert's in favor of Emanuel's, but on this subject AND Negotiable Instruments, I found Gilbert's MUCH better. My recommendation is to get the Gilbert's for U.C.C. and the Examples & Explanations, and work through a little every day. It is the best one-two punch aids out there for law students in my opinion, unfortunately Emanuel's dropped the ball with their dated Sec. Trans. outline and confusing Professor Series on Negotiable Instruments. If you have a commute and $40 to spare on tapes, then get the Gilbert's tapes as well from Spak, but that is icing on the cake - everything he covers is covered much more in-depth in the books.
