BOOK PREVIEWS

THE THOROUGHLY MODERN LANDLORD

A must-have book for Alaska landlords, who have been been using it to get "Thoroughly Modern" since 1991. In addition to making sense out of state and federal landlord-tenant laws, this book contains dozens of forms and letters for your use. The 2005 edition includes information on recent developments in the state Legislature and elsewhere. Included is a CD containing all of the relevant forms, letters and statutes, in both Word and ASCII formats. 166 pages. (Here's the gag: Julie Andrews starred in the 1967 musical “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” with a thoroughly forgettable plot. But move that young lady to Alaska and get her to reform Landlords from Hell. Now you've got a storyline!)
