3 out of 5 stars its ok

received on time; good condition however i thought i have paid for new dictionary and its was slidley used.

2 out of 5 stars Dissapointed

It's been a long while since I bought my last Blacks almost 30 yrs. ago. I wanted my daughter to have the primary tool every law student should have. When it arrived I was immediately struck by the deteriorated quality of the cover, followed by the deteriorated quality of the printing, paper and binding. For a research tool which will hopefully endure constant usage I don't believe it will survive the task.

5 out of 5 stars Black's Law Dictionary

A wonderful resource for anyone associated with law. Thorough, effortless and exponentially helpful. The hardback version protects the contents from weathering.

5 out of 5 stars a home library must

If you do legal work at home, this dictionary is essential to have there. As a law student, I have unlimited access to the Westlaw version of Black's, but there are a great deal of missing entries in that format. I have literally never tried to look up a word in the hardbound version without finding it--not so with the online or pocket versions. It is also an excellent citation source for basic legal facts, something you can't do with the internet version because of the lack of page numbers. Perhaps a little expensive for a student, but this sturdy, long-lasting volume will pay for itself by saving you time.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent value for the price

I am very pleased with this purchase. It will be used for a long time.
