Book excerpt: A contract is supposed to be a meeting of the minds: two people of equal understanding putting down a fairly negotiated agreement.

Containing definitions of terms commonly used in contractual language, this indispensible book turns you into a savvy consumer. Once you learn the vocabulary, sellers will find it much more difficult to take advantage of you. Don't sign on the bottom line until you have read "Debtor's Dictionary" from cover to cover. About Sid Moore Sidney L. (Sid) Moore Jr. was born in the small town of Montezuma, Georgia, in 1940, son of a lawyer father and a newspaper columnist mother. He worked his way through undergraduate college and Walter F. George Law School as a newspaper reporter and went on to become a widely known lecturer in Continuing Legal Education seminars for attorneys. He has also been lead counsel in criminal or civil litigation in half the states in America. Sid started his law career as a Reginald Heber Smith Community Law Fellow with the University of Pennsylvania, representing the poor in Little Rock, Arkansas. He moved from there to Atlanta where he ran a legal aid program for elderly consumers before returning to school at the University of Wisconsin Law School for a Master of Laws Degree. His thesis was on equal justice for the poor. Returning to Georgia he served as the regional director of a twenty-eight-county middle Georgia section of the Georgia Legal Services Program where his record in defending consumers against predatory creditors earned him a position as litigation coordinator of the National Consumer Law Center in Boston, a national think-tank and back-up center for consumer lawyers throughout the nation. In 1977 he became Georgia's first full-time Consumers' Utility Counsel, representing residential and small business consumers against rate increase requests filed by the major electric, gas, and telephone utilities. He was a charter member of the National Association of State Utility Consumers' Advocates. He remains a member of the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA), an association of more than one thousand private and public consumer lawyers from throughout the country, and of the Consumer Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia. In 1979 he began a private consumer practice in Decatur, Georgia, in which he represented thousands of individual consumers who were being sued by creditors or who had been ripped off in some fashion. In class action litigation, Sid has recovered millions of dollars for Georgia consumers and has handled appellate litigation which paved the way for relief for thousands. His cases have made more than $4,000,000 available to local charities through cy pres awards of money illegally taken by creditors. Sid retired in 2007 back to his home town of Montezuma where he resides with his wife, Yvonne, in the 125-year-old home where he was raised. He has continued his interest in class action litigation as well as producing this book and frequently lecturing to other lawyers on the ins and outs of handling credit problems without putting the client into bankruptcy. He is considered a national authority on credit mathematics as applied to both usury and contract compliance, and on the defense of debtors in collection cases. He gives his time freely to spread his knowledge of consumer rights and volunteers as a mentor to younger lawyers seeking to develop their litigation skills. This book is the culmination of forty years of experience in lecturing, writing, and litigation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • “Delightful . . . [a] captivating and slyly subversive fictional paean to the real women whose work on the Oxford English Dictionary went largely unheralded.”—The New York Times Book Review “A marvelous fiction about the power of language to elevate or repress.”—Geraldine Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of People of the Book Esme is born into a world of words. Motherless and irrepressibly curious, she spends her childhood in the Scriptorium, an Oxford garden shed in which her father and a team of dedicated lexicographers are collecting words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary. Young Esme’s place is beneath the sorting table, unseen and unheard. One day a slip of paper containing the word bondmaid flutters beneath the table. She rescues the slip and, learning that the word means “slave girl,” begins to collect other words that have been discarded or neglected by the dictionary men. As she grows up, Esme realizes that words and meanings relating to women’s and common folks’ experiences often go unrecorded. And so she begins in earnest to search out words for her own dictionary: the Dictionary of Lost Words. To do so she must leave the sheltered world of the university and venture out to meet the people whose words will fill those pages. Set during the height of the women’s suffrage movement and with the Great War looming, The Dictionary of Lost Words reveals a lost narrative, hidden between the lines of a history written by men. Inspired by actual events, author Pip Williams has delved into the archives of the Oxford English Dictionary to tell this highly original story. The Dictionary of Lost Words is a delightful, lyrical, and deeply thought-provoking celebration of words and the power of language to shape the world. WINNER OF THE AUSTRALIAN BOOK INDUSTRY AWARD
