I bought this book as it was required reading for my Remedies class in law school. Amazon had the lowest price, the book was in stock, and it shipped quickly. And it was exactly the right book - the info on the web site provided all the details I needed to make sure I was ordering the right edition (as these things change quite frequently in law books). Everyone should seriously consider getting all their textbooks here.
