Reviews
Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
A senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, Olson concisely examines the 20-year evolution of America's sue-and-be-damned society. Written primarily for the nonlawyer, his book will appeal to anyone wondering why the litigation explosion developed, what it means, and who profits and who loses. Olson thoroughly discusses the Alternative Dispute Resolution and the recent Rule 11 legislation, which promise some hope for reform. Recommended for public and university libraries.

Store description
I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more. Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!…
