Bankruptcy investing

Recently I attended a talk by a lawyer on 
bankruptcy investing. It was quite interesting.  He mentioned that one way 
of determining whether a company might emerge intact is to look at the 
reasons for the bankruptcy.  It the company has a single issue, like K-Mart 
(get rid of their leases), then they probably will emerge intact. If the company 
has multiple issues like Enron, particularly with criminal charges a 
possibility, it is likely that it will disappear.
 
The speaker mentioned a book by one of his 
colleagues, "Bankruptcy Investing: .........." , author Branch. He did warn that 
the book is not easy reading. Get the newer edition.
