For a limited time, ABA Publishing is offering a special 20% discount on all ABA titles. Do your shopping before July 24, 2009 as this offer expires on that date. To get this special pricing order online and enter source code PEP9MJPM

The 20% discount applies to all ABA books and you can find a complete listing of them at www.ababooks.org. Non-ABA members get 20% off of list price. ABA Section members get 20% off the special reduced member price of any section they belong to, and 20% off the list price for books from sections they aren’t members of.

In particular though, I suggest you review the books published by ABA’s Law Practice Management Section (www.abanet.org/lpm/). They have an amazing collection of awesome books on anything and everything you want to know about law practice management. This includes firm management and administration, billing and finances, legal technology, marketing and client relations, the internet, HR issues and much more. You can see a list of the LPM Section’s books here.

A catalog of LPM books in PDF format is here.

A list of the ABA LPM best sellers is here.

I was very pleased to see my new book, The Busy Lawyer's Guide to Success: Essential Tips to Power Your Practice, made the best seller’s list.

Get some great summer reading before the July 24 order deadline.

    Thank you for writing about this Dan. I've been tempted to splash out and buy my own copy of "The Little Green Book of Golf Law". I have no excuse for not getting it now that it's 20% off.
