Compare before you buy
Epstein's book was one of the first to provide a concise intro to bankruptcy law. A number of students have found Bankruptcy And Debtor/creditor: Examples And Explanations (Examples & Explanations) easier to understand with regard to Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. For an introduction to Chapter 11, the book that is getting great reviews is: Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers.

All three authors know their stuff.

Law Student's Opinion
I used this Nutshell to help create my outline and fill in holes towards the end of the semester. I thought the book was well-organized and appreciated its explanation of confusing code sections. I wish I had purchased this book earlier in the semester since using it thoughout the class would have been beneficial. Summary: Much like other Nutshells - very helpful!

Better guides are available
This is probably the worst of the guides available for bankruptcy law. It seems to have been put together in a hurry, maybe to be the first guide on the market to address the 2005 amendments. I had to look else where after being disappointed with this and prefer the following:

1. Baird's Elements of Bankruptcy (awesome!)
2. Blum's Examples & Explanations
