"The Guide is well-researched and presents an excellent and scholarly description of a highly specialized area of law. Any practitioner who has clients who might want to comment on rulemaking, or who has a desire to become involved with the rulemaking process, should consider purchasing this book."

Whether you are a private practitioner, agency counsel, trade association representative, or academic, this new book, which includes all the latest cases and developments, is an essential, up-to-date guide to understanding and navigating the increasingly intricate requirements that attend the rulemaking process."

"I once saw the top regulatory attorney of a major federal agency pick up a copy of an earlier edition of this Guide and tell the audience "If ever there was a book that should be labeled 'Steal this book' this is it." Of course, he wasn't serious (I think) but I understood the sentiment then and, having read the latest edition, I am delighted to see that I will continue to be able use this book as a reference for my students--lawyers and non-lawyers alike. People outside the administrative law community may not get excited and may have trouble understanding our excitement, but we inside the community have good reason to be thankful Professor Lubbers has produced a fourth edition of his indispensable book."
Fred Emery
President, The Regulatory Group and former Director, Office of the Federal Register
"In its original incarnation as a manual published by the Administrative Conference of the United States, this book commanded wide respect for its comprehensive and authoritative coverage of the law and practice of federal administrative rulemaking. This careful revision by Jeffrey Lubbers amply maintains the high quality of the prior editions.
With its accessible plan of organization, copious documentation, and balanced judgments, the book deserves to be owned and frequently consulted, both by newcomers to the regulatory scene and by experienced lawyers and researchers who need up-to-date coverage of trends in this vital area of administrative law."
