Mike,
I just received a review copy and was most impressed. You, Marguerite and your team of authors did a truly commendable job of addressing this formerly neglected area of scholarship. A brief review will appear in chapter 22 of the 2006 edition of the Legal Information Buyer's Guide & Reference Manual (General Law-Related Reference Titles). I'm glad you made the plug. Every law librarian should be aware of this book.
