2008-03-09 A Good Reference Book

I bought this, like many, as it was on my reading list at the start of my first year. I found it fairly easy to digest and a great book to use alongside other sources, such as Westlaw. It's references are easy to find and the opening section of the book explains clearly how to use the book to its best design.
In all, a good reference book for assignments and revision, well laid out in clear to understand terminology with good accompanying segments for greater guidence on contract law.
