Solid and practical. As a landman/attorney and title examiner who was active along the Texas Gulf Coast in the 70's and 80's, I only wish that such a valuable tool as this manual had been available in my own struggles to understand the broad complexities of the business. Since that time, I have spent the past 25 years as a law professor, and am proud to say that both of the authors, Joe Judd and John Childers, were oil and gas law students of mine during their academic careers. We often spoke of the immense value of this project, and the completion and publication of this treatise marks the proud culmination of a great idea...a practical field manual for the Texas landman, and a great, succinct reference book for attorneys as well.
I have ten solid years of land work under my belt. 12 states. 9 separate plays. 3 brokers.if you (as a landman) think you STILL know it all --- this book will remind you that you don't, and refreshing your skillset would be a darn good idea. It sure was for me and the writers should be applauded for their straightforwardness and clean formatting. I guarantee this manual will surprise you on many levels -- mainly your warped understanding of lesser known definitions that some random old codger told you about in the courthouse vault, as if it was the gospel. (cough)Also, buy this book if you have a friend looking for a career change. It's a true heads up education on what they can expect in the landman industry.A+
I wanted to leave a quick note here that I've recently reviewed this product on my blog site. I can't attach the link to the review because of 's TOS, but if you google "Landman Insider" and the name of the book you should find it pretty easily.For those of you that won't visit the link, I found the book was a great reference volume. It is also a great primer for anyone new to the industry, I'd say 3 years or less. I'm also recommending it to people who approach me who want to become landmen.
For 65 dollars its over priced. Would be good for a landman first starting out. The book states a lot of obvious items you learn on the job in your 1st 2 weeks. There is a section on how land is distributed without the prior owner having a will that applies to Texas law. It matched what I knew from KS law so assume it is generally the same. For the money I would buy Oil and Gas leases for landowners by Mike May instead. It says for landowners but works great on breaking down Oil and gas leases and giving ideas for negotiation. email me at skuyler@hotmail.com if you have any other ?
This book covers a large number of topics for a beginning landman in Texas. Clear and concise. Expensive but worth the price.
