Bankruptcies

2009 U.S. Bankruptcy Code & Rules Booklet
$25.00
I've been using the annual editions of this book for several years. It is current, comprehensive, and light weight. It not only has the bankruptcy code and rules and bankruptcy related provisions in titles 18, 26 and 28, it also has the complete federal rules of civil proceure as adopted by the bankruptcy rules. You don't get that in some publications. The size is perfect for tossing in my brief case. Not sure what the other reviewer means that there is no table of contents. There is a lengthy "Table of Sections" and "Table of Rules" that precede the Code and Rules. Those tables, together with the cross-references that follow each section and rule, allows you to find most of what you need, although the index could be expanded to better cover the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. All and all, a great book at a great price.

The Glannon Guide to Bankruptcy: Guide to Bankruptcy (Glannon Guides)

Students are finding this a great introduction to Bankruptcy. You cannot go wrong with this book or Bankruptcy And Debtor/creditor: Examples And Explanations (Examples & Explanations). For an introduction to Chapter 11 I also recommendChapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers.

Personal Bankruptcy Laws For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance))
$19.99
Personal Bankruptcy Laws for Dummies is the one and only book I found that explains the intricacies of the new bankruptcy law, gives the reader all the information needed to make a rational decision on whether bankruptcy is the appropriate remedy for his or her financial illness, and provides a wealth of information in a manner that neither patronizes nor condemns. Although it recognizes the emotional toll that financial difficulties inevitably place on individuals and couples, its strength is in giving the reader all the information necessary to make a reasoned decision on whether bankruptcy is the best route and, if so, under which chapter of the Bankruptcy Code.

Bankruptcy of Our Nation: 12 Key Strategies for Protecting Your Finances in These Uncertain Times
$13.99
The title of the book caught my eye along with the heading on the back of the cover. THE END OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE. I like history but I am not a economist. This book explains many basic economic laws and shows the USA will NOT escape them.
It also gives us hope and some clear ideas to cope with this decline in our nations
world position. We can help ourselves and help others.. A good thing!
