Book Description:
Business Leasing For Dummies covers the fundamentals of the leasing process, and objectively addresses the To buy or to lease?" question. This friendly guide describes -- in plain English -- the financial and legal ramifications of entering into a leasing agreement. It also explains how to evaluate leases for "unique" assets, such as: aircraft, software, railroad equipment, etc.And it provides negotiating tips and hints for those playing both sides of the game: the lessors and the lessees. The book highlights the financial advantages of leasing equipment, and relates those benefits to company costs and cashflow."

Excellent if niche book:
For anyone in the leasing business, this is a wonderful book to own. It is a complete training course in equipment leasing. The author has the only good explanation I could ever find of concepts such as leveraged leases. This book is a _must_ for anyone in the equipment leasing industry. I wish that the author had worked out a few examples with the reader on cash flows and pricing of leases. There is some math that is not very clear to the first time reader. I also wish that there was some more information about vendor leasing and lease origination. Regardless, this is one heck of a training course in leasing for under 20 dollars. If you are in any way involved with leasing, this is money well spent.

Business Leasing for Dummies:
This book is more about the benefits and features of leasing. It does not give the reader any information on structuring a lease. The only benefit that I saw in reading this book was that it did inform me about different lease types.
