Summary: I have to agree. Not too practical as a startup guide.
Comment: Very dated but interesting from an entertainment perspective.
No help in starting a law firm.

Rating: 1
Summary: interesting historical anecdotes, but not very useful
Comment: This book is written in a "scholarly" "dry wit" style. It is not that easy of a read. It does present a lot of interesting historical anecdotes about the practice of law and famous or interesting lawyers, but besides raising a few questions or topics to consider, it does not really provide a good guide or reference book to start your own practice. Mercifully, it does have a brief summary of the chapter at the end of the chapter.
Do not recommend this book if you are looking to start your own firm. It is interesting if you want to get tidbits of what other lawyers have done, both historical figures and contemporary attorneys.

Summary: "Hanging Out a Shingle" -- The book was a waste of time.
Comment: The title was the best thing about this book. Originally published in 1987 it was republished in 2000...apparently with no effort to update the book. No advice was offered regarding office equipment. No mention was made of electronic research media. I was especially amazed at the 1940s tone of the chapter entitled, "Women and the Law," which speculated about the effect the increase in the number of women lawyers would have on the practice of law. The book contains a number of war stories from the 1800s and 1900s seemingly derived from biographies which add little to the substance of the book.
