While America Aged: How Pension Debts Ruined General Motors, Stopped the NYC Subways, Bankrupted San Diego, and Loom as the Next Financial Crisis

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Law
by: Roger Lowenstein

May 01, 2008
I really hope that our government officials don't fall for the double-talk from the automobile manufacturers begging for a a handout, with the ongoing financial crises ripping across America.

This book gives you one good reason the government shouldn't bail out GM, or any of the other automakers. The [retired] and working union members of the UAW have nothing to fear (yet) since they're the ones sucking these companies dry with their greed, laziness and apathy for the dire economic events happening as I comment on this book.

Get rid of the Unions! They are one of the biggest reasons for the downhill economic slide our country is taking.

This is a great help in locating chapters and topics that you are researching. It would be difficult to use the N.E.C. without them. I highly recommend them.

Every Landlord's Tax Deduction Guide

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Law
by: Stephen Fishman

December 08, 2008
This is a really necessary book for anyone going into the renting business. Yes, it does seem like homework when you're slogging through it, but it really is readable, and extremely useful. I'm an accountant but never spent much study time on landlord tax law, but now find myself in need of that info.
Highly recommended, if only to maximize your deductions, and avoid traps.

Patent It Yourself

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Law
by: David Pressman

2008-05
I purchased this book and the highly-rated "Turn Your Idea or Invention into Millions". If you buy only one book, THIS IS THE ONE. The other book--only okay. I have seven utility patents that were gained through working with a patent attorney, and this book has backed up the good advice I've gotten in the past and shown many other angles and items to the patent and sale process that I wasn't aware of, until now. I highly recommend this book--it's a great reference and an easy read.

How to Form a Nonprofit Corporation (book w/ CD-Rom)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Law
by: Anthony Mancuso

July 15, 2007
I am looking into starting a small, 501(c)(3) charity. This book is extremely detailed, and it gives step by step instructions on how to start a non-profit, but I think it is over my head! This book goes into the details of how to form a corporation, but not on how to fundraise! I am still confused as whether I can fundraise first, or if I legally have to establish the tax exempt status, first!

CrunchTime Civil Procedure (The Crunchtime Series)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Law
by: Steven Emanuel

October 06, 2008
I heard that this series is a cheaper alternative to the overpriced Emanuel Law Outlines. It breaks everything down quickly but doesn't make you feel like you should have paid more. It gives numerous flow charts and gives good exam tips. I recommend this if you can't afford Emanuel Law Outlines.

Rich Dad's Real Estate Advantages: Tax and Legal Secrets of Successful Real Estate Investors

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Law
by: Sharon L. Lechter, Garrett Sutton

November 14, 2006
I bought my first property just before I purchased this book. I received it just before an international business trip, and didn't get any sleep on the flight because I was pouring over the basic concepts and ideas that fill this wonderful book.

If you are already in real estate and know the basics, you may not need this book. If you already have your team of advisors and know who to go for when you have questions, you may not need this book. If you understand the differences between LLCs and LP and why one is better in California than in Nevada, you may not need this book.

For most beginning real estate investors, this book is just the right amount and just the right speed to get started. Garrett and Sharon don't look at the buy-and ... Read More:

Love these cards! I use them to supplement my readings while on the bus or long commutes. Easy to carry, they include hypos and rules. A must!

Effective Fundraising for Nonprofits: Real-World Strategies That Work

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Law
by: Ilona M. Bray

January 15, 2008
This is an excellent textbook and reference book on fundraising for non-profits. I recently joined the board of a non-profit and knew nothing about fundraising, but this book got me up to speed very quickly. The author treats you like a reasonably intelligent person, in contrast to some other primers that are too cutesy, and she writes in plain English and avoids jargon. It's packed with information, web sites, references, real-world examples, and recommendations. And it's up-to-date. If you're working for or with a non-profit, you need this book.

Law in a Flash Evidence

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Law
by: Steven Emanuel

August 03, 2005
As previously noted in other "law in a flash reviews," these cards are highly beneficial in mechanical courses, and useless in more abstract and theoretical classes. One of the most useful sets is Evidence.
