2 out of 5 stars Not useless, but close   December 17, 2007

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.



2 out of 5 stars Lots of elaborate examples and explanations   December 2, 2007
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

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].


4 out of 5 stars There is Nothing Else and This is Pretty Good   January 5, 2007
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

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.


1 out of 5 stars Worst E&E Book Out There   April 24, 2006

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