You can probably go through the whole course without buying this book. The only good thing about it is the multiple choice questions after every chapter.

Honestly loved this book because it was small; however, the organization was CRAZY

'problem' casebooks always suck, from an aesthetic perspective, and this one is no exception. that said, this one works fine for a course, if supplemented by study of the actual rules and cases on same.
