Another publisher created this product. Why should I buy it from the ABA?
We want the ABA Web store to carry any title that is useful to practicing lawyers and judges. So in addition to the hundreds of products published by the ABA itself, the Web store now offers hundreds of titles from other publishers, including BNA, Oxford University Press, Harvard Business School Press, Wiley, Merriam-Webster, and many others.
The ABA has entered into a distribution arrangement with these other publishers, and receives a small discount on the list price of each book it resells. When you buy these products from the ABA rather than direct from the publisher or from another online retailer, you directly support the many programs and initiatives of the ABA.
