NOLO books are the best for legal reference. Because they are reference books you'll never need all of it. Legal Guide for Starting and Running a Small Business is the same.
It will help you decide what kind of business you are going to set-up; Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, Corporation, or Limited Liability Corp. After that there are sections broken down to help you create each form of business. Obviously if you are setting up a Sole Proprietorship you won't need the legal advice on Corporations.
In easy to understand terms it explains everything from getting licenses to franchises to hiring to small claims court. Where they feel you may need more explanation for a situation they tell you which other NOLO book can help you. This book is really a launching point, and other NOLO books can help you with more in-depth expertise.
The Law in the Real World excerpts are exceptionally good for seeing real world applications of the legaleses.
This book does not come with a CD of legal forms. As far as I can tell if you want the forms mentioned in the book you have to pay to download them from NOLO. However if you register your book you'll get a code for 15% off.

Definitely good and indispensable! I feel like I've learned everything important about C and S corporations in the US. Lots of useful tips and easy-to-understand descriptions.
