"Your Little Legal Companion is a fine gift book, it’s a good book for sharing, it’s a cocktail table book for a little cocktail table, it’s a book for growing up, and it’s a book for getting out. Carry it in your cargo pants’ pocket, put it in your gear jacket or pop it in the case with your laptop. Sooner or later one of life’s events will send you searching and your answer will be only a page flip away."
