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

Anyways. Great.

This book was recommended to me by my contract law professor, and I’m glad he did. I aced my contract law exam thanks to it. What’s interesting is that it never felt like I was reading dry, dense course material. It’s very easy to read and follow.
I absolutely love how it’s written and would recommend it to all law students, those interested in law, and anyone who appreciates a good, well-written book that’s delightful to read.

I wish more textbooks were written like this.

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.
