Nicely small, compact format is easy on the backpack. Well written, relevant, not overly verbose. Includes current trends and laws. I'm going to keep this one for future reference.

My college advisor highly recommended this book and I have to agree. It might have been better for me to use it in paperback but is still a handy, useful tool!
