This seller is great, the book is in great condition and I paid half of what everyone else paid, not to mention the fact that the bookstore sold out and I was one of the only people in my class that had a book. Great seller, great conditioned book, fast shipping. Thanks!!!

In comparison to the other casebooks I’ve been forced to read this year as a 1L, this casebook is probably the best written. Instead of just placing emphasis on the cases and the rules to glean from them, it also highlights key principles and strategies to use as a lawyer in the future(termed lawyering by the authors). I must admit that taking Nathan Crystal’s contract class obviously helps in the understanding of the book, but it’s a good regardless.

This casebook was, by far, the best casebook I had as a 1L. It was well-organized, insightful, and clear. The author notes did much to clarify the complexities of contract law. As a student of Knapp’s I’m probably a bit biased, but I did effectively learn my contracts.

This book is extremely tedious. The authors use extensive language, commentary, and notes which further confuse and do not explain the already-difficult concepts presented in the cases.
Not for pleasure reading. This book is used in Contracts Law classes; if your professor is not one who likes explaining things to any great extent I highly suggest purchasing a supplement or two to help you understand on your own.

This is my second semester of using this book, and it is awful. The authors will introduce concepts as if you already know them without explaining them. Also this book is heavy into referring other books to read to learn more about the concepts, which is not helpful in the least because they fail to even explain anything. If you are assigned this book, invest in a supplement because otherwise you will be lost! The Examples & Explanations is very good, but what supplement you need can vary from professor to professor because each can approach the ideas in different ways.
