Whilst browsing Amazon's website tonight, I noted the following book:-
"Computer-Assisted Legal Research Unplugged : The User-Friendly Guide to
Lexis-Nexis & Westlaw" by Adam J. Piacente. As I have not seen this book
here in Melbourne as yet, I was wondering whether any kind Law-Libbers
familiar with it would care to let me know how good, (or otherwise), they
consider it to be. I am thinking of ordering it from the USA, but it is not
cheap. In particular, I'd be interested to know how it compares with the
Christopher and Jill Wren book, "Using Computers For Legal Research", which
I already have. Many Thanks in advance.
