Helpful reinforcement
Unlike most E & E books, instead of dumbing down the subject into plain language and basic concepts in small chapters, it gives brief intoductions (which are broad overviews), then you get into the guts of the UCC by working the problem. The book covers almost all the issues you could get in class.
In other words, if you're completely lost it can't do much for you. If your looking for some practice and clarification it's great.

This is a great introduction to commercial paper!
I have to disagree with the last reviewer. This book was thorough, and handled commercial paper in a simply and easy to understand way. I didn't take commercial paper in law school, and was completely unfamiliar with the lay of the land. This book was an excellent starting point and covered all the basics necessary to do well on the bar exam. If you are like the last reviewer, and already have a solid enough grasp on the subject matter to be able to nitpick discrepancies between different versions of the UCC, then this might not be a good book for you. But if you are simply looking for a solid introduction to the subject, I highly recommend this book. Considering how lost I was in commercial paper, it was a godsend!

This Book Sucks
Don't bother buying this book if your professor teaches the 2004 version of the UCC. I spent hours trying to figure out why one of the chapters was so off base with regard to Accomodation Parties; then I realized the book was dealing with the pre-2002 version of the Code. Brook barely acknowledges the 2004 changes except to note that there are, in fact, changes. Gee, thanks.
