Book Reviews of The New Bankruptcy: Will It Work for You? (2nd edition)
Book Review: This is a Book that an 81-Year-Old Illinois Man Should Have Written
Summary: 3 Stars
I posted an online article recently at Hopeless Utopian about an Illinois man, 81, who has filed for bankruptcy 8 times, most recently in June 2008. This is a guy who has seen both the new and the old, and the older and the even older bankruptcy reform and has had to deal with it all. If I knew the guy's address, I'd send him Stephen Elias' book so he'd be better prepared when he files for the 9th time, if he lives long enough to refile. (Isn't there a minimum number of years you must wait between filings?) In any case, this is the book I'd recommend to him.
