Great book. Just started reading it, because, apparently, I need to if I ever want to become a lawyer.

Anyways. Great.

One of the best Contract texts out there. This book isn't bulky but it covers the principles of Contract law, including the criticisms and reforms in great depth. Easy to read and understand, and extremely student-friendly.
