Drumroll, please...
Introducing a revolutionary new guide to legal research for laypersons and students - by the author of "the most useful book on legal information ever written," Kendall F. Svengalis.

Unlike previous bibliographies of self-help law books, this book adopts a new approach. Each subject-specific bibliography is prefaced by commentary on the nature of the law of that field, together with links to online sources for further information, including legal research guides. The intent is to give laypersons some broader context in which to comprehend the nature of the specialty of their concern.
