Summary: its ok
Comment: received on time; good condition however i thought i have paid for new dictionary and its was slidley used.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Dissapointed
Comment: It's been a long while since I bought my last Blacks almost 30 yrs. ago. I wanted my daughter to have the primary tool every law student should have. When it arrived I was immediately struck by the deteriorated quality of the cover, followed by the deteriorated quality of the printing, paper and binding. For a research tool which will hopefully endure constant usage I don't believe it will survive the task.

Summary: Black's Law Dictionary
Comment: A wonderful resource for anyone associated with law. Thorough, effortless and exponentially helpful. The hardback version protects the contents from weathering.
Customer Rating:
Summary: a home library must
Comment: If you do legal work at home, this dictionary is essential to have there. As a law student, I have unlimited access to the Westlaw version of Black's, but there are a great deal of missing entries in that format. I have literally never tried to look up a word in the hardbound version without finding it--not so with the online or pocket versions. It is also an excellent citation source for basic legal facts, something you can't do with the internet version because of the lack of page numbers. Perhaps a little expensive for a student, but this sturdy, long-lasting volume will pay for itself by saving you time.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent value for the price
Comment: I am very pleased with this purchase. It will be used for a long time.
