FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
With publications like this one, the American Bar Association (ABA) delivers accurate, up-to-date, unbiased legal information at a reasonable cost. This useful guide was produced by experts from the ABA's Business Law Section in cooperation with the Committee on Public Education. Topics covered in its eight sections include legal forms of operating businesses, buying an existing business or a franchise, hiring and firing employees, managing temps and independent contractors, dealing with contracts and scams, taxes of all types, and, finally, closing, selling, or bequeathing the business. The final chapter lists web sites on small-business topics and e-commerce plus a few book titles. This title is comparable to Fred S. Steingold's The Legal Guide for Starting and Running a Small Business (Nolo.com, 1999. 5th ed.). Obviously, the advantage of the ABA's guide is the contributions by numerous attorneys. Organized, current, and inexpensive; most business collections should add.--Susan C. Awe, Univ. of New Mexico Lib., Albuquerque Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
