Rate this book
Douglas Baird takes stock of the current state of contract doctrine and in the process reinvigorates the classic framework of Anglo-American contract law, showing that Oliver Wendell Holmes's set of principles, properly understood, continues to provide the best guide to contracts for a new generation of students, practitioners, and judges.
