Summary: everyone else liked it, but I was not that impressed
Review: I bought this book as recommended to study for the Introduction to Business Law CLEP. It is a good tool for that purpose. I, however, am a person that wants to get A's on tests, except when it is pass or fail (then I just want to pass). This book probably gives all the information you need for the CLEP, but I just skimmed the parts that looked the most important. All of the information I read seemed to be covered in the much simpler book CLEP Introductory Business Law Review published by Comex.
I ended up barely passing my test with a 56, but I think I could have done the same without Barron's Review.
My advice, if you want to really be prepared, buy this book and read it after the CLEP Review by Comex. I would have absorbed the information a lot better if I had read it second. Also make sure you stay awake while you are reading it. It was not hard to read in terms of vocabulary, but I found it was very boring.
If you do not buy this book, and just read the Comex you are taking a risk, but the time saved may be worth it. This CLEP really is a lot harder than the Priciples of Management and other tests I have taken. That is the same thing other reviewers have said, and you should believe it.

Summary: Great desk reference AND worked for CLEP and Dantes exams!
Review: I bought this book to study for the CLEP Business Law I exam. I realized I could also use it for the Dantes Business Law II exam. I passed both, and am keeping it for a handy desk reference. Nicely organized, good examples, and easy to read.

Summary: A CLEP Must Have Study Guide
Review: I passed the Introductory Business Law CLEP using this book, which I had previously failed using Orr's Review for the CLEP. The Special Topics section included information needed to pass that was not even mentioned in Orr's book. Also included, are examples that provide a much clearer understanding of the topics and how to apply them. There is a lot of material to digest, so give yourself a good week to study from this book. Each chapter includes boxes titled YOU SHOULD REMEMBER, these are key, at a minimum you should be knowledgable on these points. Good Luck.

Summary: Great study guide or primer
Review: In addition to being an excellent resource for small business owners, this book is recommended as a preparation for the CLEP Business Law examination (3 lower-level college credits) by a number of people. I second that opinion, especially if you are looking to hit the higher percentiles. This isn't a dry academic text, but an easy to read text that covers the basics with a minimum of handholding. Hardwicke presents the critical information that managers need to know, in a down to earth book. Highly recommended for CLEP or DANTES candidates.
