Handy paperback size. Newly expanded index. Cross-references between the Bankruptcy Code and Rules. Cross references from statutory citation to U.S. Code sections. Published in January of each year just weeks after new rule changes take effect.
has exactly what you need day-to-day for a practicing bankruptcy attorney. Most helpful are the insertions of the full text of the FRCP into the FRBP (if you have to ask what that stands for, you probably don’t need this book). Saves a lot of time going off to another book to see what exactly the bankruptcy rules are incorporating.
I probably use this at least once a week for quick reference to the Code and Rules. Very handy, useful format, keep it on your desk. (I would have given it five stars, but it’s a bit on the pricey side for a plain paperback. Still, not much of a criticism considering the competition from West and Lexis at three times the price.)
