The Red Book didn’t go away — it became the West Virginia Real Estate Law Code Bible. If you’re looking for the old study guide, this is it, just far more complete.
For over 30 years, we gave students a simple bound copy of the WV Real Estate Commission’s law code to study from, since no national textbook covers West Virginia-specific law. Students nicknamed it the “Red Book.” The Law Code Bible is the modern, full-textbook version of that same idea: the actual WV law code laid out side-by-side with a plain-English explanation of what each part means and why it matters on your state exam.

Why we wrote it
The WV real estate exam has a national portion and a state portion, and the state portion is where most people who fail actually fail — because it’s WV-specific law that generic national courses don’t teach at all. We’ve been writing our own WV law code study material since 1993 for exactly that reason. The Law Code Bible is a real, published, ISBN-registered textbook (ISBN 979-8-9925002-0-2) — not a photocopy — built entirely around West Virginia Real Estate Commission law that is tested on in the State Portion of the exam Pearson Vue proctors.
