"disappointedwi"
Written By: Legal WI
I am NOT happy because I NEVER received my book I paid for!!! I understand used books may not be in the best shape but if you take someone's money I think the least you can do is actually deliver the book!

"Dissapointed"
Written By: Howard Israel
It's been a long while since I bought my last Blacks almost 30 yrs. ago. I wanted my daughter to have the primary tool every law student should have. When it arrived I was immediately struck by the deteriorated quality of the cover, followed by the deteriorated quality of the printing, paper and binding. For a research tool which will hopefully endure constant usage I don't believe it will survive the task.
"Black's Law Dictionary"
Written By: Law Student
A wonderful resource for anyone associated with law. Thorough, effortless and exponentially helpful. The hardback version protects the contents from weathering.
"a home library must"
Written By: C. Cutting
If you do legal work at home, this dictionary is essential to have there. As a law student, I have unlimited access to the Westlaw version of Black's, but there are a great deal of missing entries in that format. I have literally never tried to look up a word in the hardbound version without finding it--not so with the online or pocket versions. It is also an excellent citation source for basic legal facts, something you can't do with the internet version because of the lack of page numbers. Perhaps a little expensive for a student, but this sturdy, long-lasting volume will pay for itself by saving you time.
