1.0 out of 5 stars
A great disappointment., April 24, 2002
By A Customer
Don't waste your money on the first edition; get the Gilbert's outline instead. Then, if you have questions, just ask your prof.Compared to the Examples & Explanations for Contracts (Blum), Torts (Glannon), and the astounding Civil Procedure (Glannon), this book was a big let-down. Either Aspen needs to have some student reviewers, or the editors at Aspen need to get their act together and compare what is in the book with a commercial outline. In our study group, we randomly turned to two examples & explanations. In one case, the authors said that they differed on the outcome, but only gave one authors opinion (Implied Warranty of Habitability, chp 20, example #10). In another (on Dower, Chp 14., example 1), the answer is flat-out wrong. I do like that the chapters are short, and not intimidating, but the explanations have to be beefed up and well-developed. They are not in this book, and I cannot recommend anyone purchase it. I'm not wasting any time using it in preparation for finals.
