I must say thank you to the many who have said on this site to purchase the “the Contractor’s Legal Kit” by Gary Ransone
I had put it off for the past year, It arrived Last Thursday and I can say that it is the most valuable tool in my work box.
The simple layout is exactly what I have been missing in client relations, the CD Disk made putting everything on the table before starting a job easy and straight forward.
My suggestion to any self employed construction worker/contractor get this Book and CD. It will pay for itself the first moment you open it. It contains everything I had thought of but never put to paper, concerning mine and the clients interest.

Where do I get this? Cost?
I found the best price on Amazon.com it cost me about $60.00 Canadian, it sells for about 90.00 if you order through a retail outlet.

I had just been wondering if I should buy this book. Thanks for posting; I guess that answers my question.
Thanks Jerrald, for that link to the deal. I almost ended up buying it from JLC. JLC is good place to select a book, but not necessarily the least expensive.

Seen it, read it, and liked it. It's got a lot of good points that get you thinking about risk, and how to cover your risks with your estimates.

I'ts good to get some feedback on the book before I get it.Nice to here that you liked it.Thanks Bob.Anyone else have the book and if you do, how do you like it???Ray;)
I also have this book. Overall, it gave me some good ideas and I agree that it starts to make you think about reducing your risk.
I did think that some of the content was restated unnecessarily in separate chapters.
