Insurance Journal Forums

Hello Everyone,

I am looking to buy some insurance related books/texts. I already have a lot of the insurance institute books (the ones for the aai are great), but can anyone recommend any others? I sell personal and commercial lines and wish to have a more in depth understanding of the coverages and how to better explain them to clients.

Has anyone used the Rough Notes books? Specifically "Coverages Applicable" ? (http://www.roughnotes.com/products_catalog07/index.html).

Any other recommendations?

Thanks so much!
