In comparison to the other casebooks I've been forced to read this year as a 1L, this casebook is probably the best written. Instead of just placing emphasis on the cases and the rules to glean from them, it also highlights key principles and strategies to use as a lawyer in the future(termed lawyering by the authors). I must admit that taking Nathan Crystal's contract class obviously helps in the understanding of the book, but it's a good regardless.
Great Seller

This seller is great, the book is in great condition and I paid half of what everyone else paid, not to mention the fact that the bookstore sold out and I was one of the only people in my class that had a book. Great seller, great conditioned book, fast shipping. Thanks!!!
best casebook out there

This casebook was, by far, the best casebook I had as a 1L. It was well-organized, insightful, and clear. The author notes did much to clarify the complexities of contract law. As a student of Knapp's I'm probably a bit biased, but I did effectively learn my contracts.
Good casebook

KCP offers much analysis of each case, and explains the cases reasonably clearly. However, it is clearly a casebook to be used in a class; trying to read it without professorial guidance can be difficult. This is true of any casebook; though material and ideas are clearly presented here, the material itself is dense and complex. If you're a 1-L and have KCP as your casebook, you'll have an excellent grasp of contract law at the end of the course if you read everything your professor assigns out of the book. But do read it all.
