West Publishing Company has just issued its eighth edition of Casualty, Fire and Marine Investigation Checklists (CF&MIC). It is co-authored by Pat Magarick (posthumously) and Ken Brownlee, our resident iconoclast.

This is a book that no one—not even the most conscientious adjuster or insurance claims geek—would curl up with and read from cover to cover. Nor is it meant to be digested that way.  It will not give the latest hot seller, Fifty Shades of Grey, a run for its money on the bestseller list. I doubt that anyone will load this book on the Kindle and take it to the beach for escapist summer reading.
