Lease

I bought this book hoping to gain some insight into how
to analyze the four options you have at the end of a lease.
Unfortunately, I am still looking for that insight.
This book has lots of legal insight, with 38 pages allotted to
Regulation M, the regulations to the Consumer Leasing Act.
This book was helpful, although incomplete.

This is an easy-to-read book that saves you bundles. Simple as that

This is a great book! It took me about an hour to read and it saved me a boatload on my lease! Intelligently written and easy to read, this one is a must-read if you're shopping. I especially liked the lease vs. buy stuff.

You will gain a lot, there is a great deal of information in this book, If you have decided to put your financial life back together this is the starting point. A MUST for the people who need help.

I read the No-nonsense Credit Manual and found it very helpful in cleaning up the "wreckage of my past". It has helped me to better plan for the future and it's very easy to understand. Thanks for all the help.

I recently read this book and found it very helpful. I have taken direction and started writing my creditors letters and had marvelous results. I have re-established my credit by getting a secured credit card and am very happy to say I am repairing my credit myself through reading this manual.

This book provided and an invaluable supply of forms and checklists, assisting me to develop all the documents necessary to successfully develop an in-house leasing program. However, I was disappointed in the actual usability of the accompanying diskette. Some of the formatting caused certain text (such as subject headers) to be invisible.

I would recommend this book to others who need a practical reference, but who also have other reference materials for contrast and comparison.

This book is an excellent practical tool to gain understanding on how the Production Sharing Contracts/ Agreements of the international oil industry work and how the negotiations on PSA normally flow. Johnston does not concentrate on cultural aspects of a particular country, but rather on the mechanics of the PSA and its major issues. The topics that Johnston covers are "Petroleum Fiscal Systems," "Concessionary Systems," "Production Sharing Contracts," "Risk Service Contracts," "Threshold Field Size Analysis," "Global Market for Exploration Acreage," "Production Sharing Contract Outline" "Accounting Principles," and "Double Taxation." This introductory comprehensive overview of PSA concepts is written in a clear and understandable manner so that even a person without a background in accounting, taxation, and oil engineering is able to understand the author's explanations and conclusions. This source will be most helpful to consult if one is interested in learning or simply clarifying the concepts of exploration economics, oil taxation, contract/fiscal terms, and PSA negotiations in the international context.

New Lease On Love is a good book and even involves an adventure in a hot air balloon and has likeable characters a guy, Nick Tanner, and a lady, Chelsea Lawton.

Essays by various authors from a symposia in California, Reinventing Nature looks at where our concepts of nature originate and how very different they can be. Several of the chapters explore some of the naive myths we hold about native peoples, their values, and attitudes toward the land and its resources. An excellent eye-opener for the general reader.

I took Professor Litvinoff's class so I read this casebook quite often. If you are looking for a historical perspective of the nominate contracts of sale and lease, your search is over. Subjects cover all Louisiana Civil Code provisions relating to sale and lease as well as select revised statutes. The casebook is suplemented with selections by Planiol and other Civil Law commentators as well as exerpts from Prof. Litvinoff's law review publications.

The Amazon.com synopsis does not do justice to this book by wonderful writer John Mortimer. If you have been to Tuscany, or merely wish you had, the details of the Tuscan landscape and the villa La Felicita make you drool with envy. The family members are all vividly characterized - you can only wonder how the grandfather has avoided being the victim of a homicide during his 77 years, You are halfway through the novel before you realize that although you sympathize with Molly, the heroine, you don't particularily like her - and why is that, I wonder? Sorry to have finished the book- it will be difficult to find another novel which so neatly captures the Ex-Patriate British scene in Italy - and a mystery to boot!

This book is too general to serve any real user of office space. You would be better off educating yourself on the market and how to negotiate effectively through free web sites such as Pikenet, and Starboardnet.com.

Please ignore the one star review from Mr. Hansson, as he is obviously and shamelessly promoting his own brokerage business by slamming the legitmate work of others. He has never actually purchased a copy of the book. The book has been reprinted several times and there have been thousands of copy sold. It is just right for those seeking a fast overview of the leasing process to manage a trainsaction brokered or not.

Recently, I read through several of the leading books on the subject of Commercial Property Leases, a subject that was a complete mystery for me. This book was the BEST, with clear explanations, strategies, and usable checklists. Mr. McComb has a way of explaining the subject that helps to clear the questions from your mind.

This book is about nothing. But not the funny kind of nothing as in Seinfeld. If you read the back of this book, you get the impression that this woman takes revenge on the people in the streets making all the noise. Let me save you the suspense, she does NOTHING! All she does is complain complain complain, and in the end she finally loses it and, oh my, throws a few eggs out the window that don't even hit the perpetrators. They land on the street. Nothing is resolved at all, there's no plot, there's random jokes all through the book that start out corny and then become unneccessarily offensive and very inappropriate (since when are incest jokes funny?) not to mention annoying when you're trying to figure out why this book was even written. It's important to note that half of everything in this book never happens. It's all about what this woman "would do if..." and "then she would say..." Well,if I "would" have known that I'd gain nothing from reading this book, I "would" never have bought it in the first place.

Ms. Tillman has once again created another memorable narrator and voice. NO LEASE ON LIFE is a remarkably quick read, rife with interesting characters and observations. I enjoyed the joke motif throughout the book. Clearly, the BIG JOKE is on anyone willing to live in NYC.

Lynne Tillman's No Lease on Life is a brilliant and magical novel. Impossible to put down, it's utterly, wildly hilarious. It's a darkly comic tale of mayhem in pre-millennial New York City, shot through with such lawless, wicked humor that one may find oneself laughing uncontrollably, out loud. It traces 24 hours inside the troubled mind of Elizabeth Hall -- a woman on the verge of committing a violent crime. Written in an urgent, percussive prose, it's irresistable, hurtling forward with the momentum of a rock thrown through a window. Opening with a barbed joke about drive-by shootings, No Lease on Life takes place in a dangerous, hilariously funny realm beyond the margins of good manners and good taste. Jokes appear throughout the novel, like rude remarks blurted out, unexpectedly, at a cocktail party. Hugely entertaining in themselves, the jokes accentuate the kinetic, jaunty rhythm of Tillman's writing. They poke serial killers, Jews, WASPS, African Americans, Puerto Ricans and everyone in between. Nothing is sacred. Brimming with in-your-face sass, the narrator is impossibly entertaining. Her "inner voice" is foul-mouthed and ill-tempered, as well as captivating and completely charming. Elizabeth's burning, unrealized ambition is to be a killer. The people she'd enjoy murdering are the loud-mouthed morons who noisily invade her East Village block every night. They amuse themselves by throwing garbage cans and throwing vomiting contests. They make it impossible for Elizabeth, and everyone else, to get any sleep. Pissed-off, irritable and murderous, Elizabeth isn't a nice character. Yet she elicits the reader's sympathy immediately. She's Every Chick who's ever tried to keep her block clean, or her hallway free of garbage and needles. She's a one-woman urban avenger in a world where barbaric, dehumanizing forces have mysteriously taken over. Tillman's novel is suffused with violence, humor, and the percussive energy of urban life. It's an acid-etched valentine to New York
