   WEST'S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN LAW
Minneapolis, West Publishing Company 1997, First Edition, Hardcover. Very Good with no dust jacket. 0314201653
   ¶ 12 Vols + Yearbooks for 1998 and 1999. This is an encyclopedia for anyone who wants to read and learn about the law without first having to get a law degree. The encyclopedia is organized alphabetically by subject, with much more detail provided for major subjects. Text is accompanied by hundreds of color photos and illustrations. While the set is a few years old, very little in the law has changed in that time, and thus it still is a valuable, and very useful reference. The set includes detailed discussions of major U. S. Supreme Court cases such as Rowe v. Wade, detailed sections on complex areas of the law, and examples of many different kinds of legal forms used all the time. This set came from a library, but the only library markings are small date stamps on the last page of each book. There may be a little residue from sticker removal here and there. The books are close to new in condition, with very little evidence of any use of most of the volumes. However, in Volume 1, one page was cut out at the beginning of the section on Affirmative Action. Otherwise there seem to be no other flaws of any significance in any of the other volumes.
