Individual chapters from this text are also available for seminars and CLE presentations (in electronic format). Customer Reviews: Review #1: OK Information, Poor Execution 2006-04-01 The formatting of this book is so poor that it makes the content very difficult to read. It looks like a Word document that someone prepared for a CLE class, and then had bound. The lack of margins and irregular line spacing make the book more of a chore to read than it's worth. There are a few useful items scattered throughout the book, but the author's descriptions (while accurate) may be very misleading to someone who isn't already familiar with the legal concepts. For example, her description of the "work for hire" doctrine is certainly correct, but someone who hasn't practiced in the area may likely not understand (or seriously misinterpret) the underlying messages.
