TOP OF THE LINE5
As always, the Nolo bankruptcy books are the only way to go when it comes to self-help books for the non-lawyer. Plus, the latest edition appears to have updated the summary of the 50 states various exemptions, an improvement from before.

Interestingly, the latest edition appears to be biased in favor of creditors' interests a little more than it was in the previous editions.
