Customer Reviews

Best legal textbook I have read

If your professor chooses this textbook, you are LUCKY! It is wonderfully well-written in a clear and concise way with excellent explanations, relevant cases, and well organized hypotheticals, all working together to develop a thorough understanding of each concept. The reader will NOT walk away with a hazy understanding of contract law. So many legal textbooks are full of themselves with language so dense that reading them is like solving a puzzle. This book is a breath of fresh air.

Book arrived as described!

Book arrrived as described and seller shipped quickly. Will do business with this seller again!

'Contracts' was a great buy

I got a book in great condition for 1/4 the price at my school's bookstore! I would definitely buy from this seller again.

This is my favorite casebook.

I literally read this book cover to cover, and I certainly would not read any other textbook all the way through. The pages are thick and the typeface is large, so my eyes didn't hurt after squinting at a page. Many textbooks seem jumbled, but the concepts are neatly laid out in this edition. The opinions are edited well, without too much extraneous information. However, there's not a lot of information on the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) or any comparative contracts law. The authors do a good job gathering contracts cases from across the country and didn't succumb to the temptation to drown their readers in legalese. I also disagree with the previous reviewer. In fact, many law text editors purposely use the feminine pronoun (she/her) to be, in a sense, distracting. Most readers, both male and female, expect a masculine pronoun. A feminine pronoun in its place will require re-engagement by the reader and may (because of our cultural biases) "humanize" the subject. For a more detailed history of the use of masculine and feminine pronouns in legal writing, see Petersson, Gender Neutral Drafting: A Historical Perspective, 19 Statute Law Review 2, 93-112, available at [..] [..]
