Russell, I'm not sure you're really going to find what you need. Each state has different laws and it's going to be next to impossible to have a book cover the whole nation.

I think, though, there are some "business for dummies" books that might help. They should give enough information to allow you to know what you need more information on.

I set up businesses through work, but I don't pretend to even understand much of what I'm doing. My boss gives me the info, I draw up the documents (simple yes or no questions) and then he explains the docs to the client.
