My father, Keith H. Ellis, was one of the co - authors of this book. So of course I think it's great! Unfortunately it's way above my head, so no I have not read it. I work with computers mostly. However, I do know that my father and the other authors are extremely intelligent men and I'm sure it is as eloquently written as possible for rather technical law material. As for how useful this book will be to you I'm not sure, I just wanted to be the first person to have reviewed this book.

The Valuation of Real Estate is an industry standard. If you are considering this volume, be aware that it is NOT a hardcover. It is a "downsized" paperback, which was a shock to me considering the cost. The type in the volume I received was surprisingly light: some pages looked like they had been copied on an inexpensive copier.

If you purchase this diminutive edition of a formerly wonderful book, I suggest you also purchase a magnifying glass.
