Secured Transactions: Examples And Explanations (The Examples & Explanations Series) 
asked by alec on November 5, 2006 2:28 AM
A favorite among law students and professors alike, the Examples & Explanations series is ideal for studying, reviewing and testing your understanding through application of hypothetical examples. Authored by leading professors with extensive classroom experience, Examples & Explanations titles offer hypothetical questions in the subject area, complemented by detailed explanations that allow you to test your knowledge of the topic, and compare your own analysis.

This is easily the worst book in the E&E series.

I've read 11 or so of the Examples and Explanations books while in Law School. For the most part, the series is great. The material is broken down into sections that make sense and the important points are made and remade with the examples.
This book is probably the worst of the series that I've read. There are numerous spelling/editing mistakes. The author tries (and fails) to be funny to the point of distraction. The material leaves out some of the important rules that you'll need for the test. The interaction between this section of the UCC and the Bankrupcty Code is barely even mentioned. And, the section of the book on "Priority" is not nearly as strong as it needs to be. For the first time, my text book was actually more helpful than the E&E book.
I suppose I'd still recommend it, but don't rely on this exclusively when you're studying for the exam. This might be the type of class where legal flash cards, etc. would be more helpful.
