Product stands by itself.......2007-08-29

This is a law book that many 1L's will come across this year and years to come. Having said that if you're reading this review you probably are shopping for a law book because it is on a reading list for a class. When I purchased this book through Amazon, with the expedited 2 day shipping, it was still cheaper than other comparable law websites (lawbooks.com, barristerbooks.com etc). Having said that the book was the right edition and brand new for a price that was slightly less than what I would have paid at the bookstore (considering I was in NY and the law school was in MA that wouldn't have been prudent). So if you are wary of buying used; stressing day-in-day-out whether the seller is going to send the book or if they'll send the right edition or numerous other problems that may run through your mind when purchasing a used book from an anonymous source without even seeing the product, then buy this new edition. You'll be happy to know you got a great product for a reasonable price. Plus without the notes or highlight marks that may distract some readers (present company included)

Good but needs a good teacher.......2004-10-29

So you have K and you have the book you have to read for K. Well 1st I must say that this is a great K book.

However, it strays into some IP (I think) space with the ProCD case. Thus, my K teacher skips a lot of cases not out of time concerns but for content. There are a lot of international cases which are more or less worthless in my class. It is amazing how the UK cases are simply spoken from the bench and not written yet the prose is of immense quality.

Also there are lots of sub cases that are not bolded. Often I miss them as I am briefing so you have to keep your eyes open for them.

Legendary Contracts Book.......2004-02-12

You probably have no choice whether to purchase this book or not as it is likely required and if it was not what in the world would you be doing buying one of these?

Yet if you are required you are in luck. Farnsworth's book is legendary. The selection of cases hits all the right points from drunken farm sales, to conniving socialites, and a classic selection of King's Bench tales.

Not only are the cases well selected, but the budding law student gets to read Farnsworth's wry commentary and always salient observations. The only downside is his inclusion of foreign contract law representing his love of travels around the world but this is a minor flaw.

There is but one legend of Contract Case Books and his name is Farnsworth!

ASIN: 0314143351

Book Description

Legalines gives you authoritative, detailed briefs of every major case in your casebook. You get a clear explanation of facts, the issues, the court's holding and reasoning, and any significant concurrences or dissents. Even more importantly, you get an authoritative explanation of the significance of each case, and how it relates to other cases in your casebook. And with Legalines' detailed table of cases, you can quickly find any case or concept you're looking for.

But your professor expects you to know more than just the cases. That's why Legalines gives you more than just case briefs. You get summaries of the black letter law as well. That's crucial because some of the most important information in your casebooks isn't in the cases at all… it's the black letter principles you're expected to glean from those cases.

Legalines is the only study aid that gives you both case briefs and black letter review. With Legalines, you get everything you need to know - whether it's in a case or not!

I don't know how I could have finished law school without the study aids! This is a fairly good one. If you prefer an electronic copy, I'd suggest the e-Legalines for Contracts (which has an updated version of this study aid).

It doesn't follow all the casebook law, but is clear about concept explanation.

if your using the farnsworth contracts book, this is a must. it is the most important purchase that i have made all semester. it goes through all of the cases in the book, as well as the black letter of the law. it is an excellent resource material to use when finals roll around. purchase this book at the begining of the semester and use it as a review periodically.

Save your money there is a 2007 edition.......2007-08-29

I had ordered this because it was required for my contracts class (see my review of the casebook) and after receiving this edition I found out from the message board at my law school that there was a 2007 edition that would be needed for that class (there were new articles about internet rights and the what not that are not included in 2003). So be forewarned: if your teacher wants you to use this edition ask to make sure that it is the 2003 and not the 2007. I did and lucky enough I was able to return the product to Amazon but only after they subtracting the shipping fee and waited a week for them to credit my credit card.

Well worth the price.......2007-09-19

This is a excellent text from a renowned author. He explains the subject in a complete and methodological fashion that helps to make the concepts clear. He also doesn't shy away from including contradictory and historical information where appropriate, and the extensive case citation helps to demonstrate the concepts.

Decent at best.......2007-01-14

This particular study guide is marginally helpful. I personally was in a situation where my professor wrote our contracts text, and he recommended Farnsworth. The text is decent as far as understanding and set-up, but in my opinion, there are better study guides out there. The contracts edition of the examples and explanations series is one of them.

WOW........2005-12-17

I bought this book based on the reviews and before I even received it in the mail, I contemplated sending it back to Amazon because I already had the Legalines and the Emanuel supplements for the Farnsworth text (I am a supplement/hornbook fiend). I really didn't think I could use much more help than I already had. The Legalines is good if at times you have trouble trying to figure out what exactly is going on in the cases. It's a good fall-back--I would not completely rely on this book, however. The Emanuel is excellent; like all the others, it gives you definitions and explains concepts clearly. The practice questions at the end of each section are very helpful, to make sure you are on the right track and are able to apply the concepts (the most important thing!). However, as soon as I opened up this treatise, I was in love. If you are going to get any supplement for the Farnsworth text, this is THE ONE. He explains everything clearly and concisely--in plain words, so its easy to comprehend. If you don't understand the underlying concepts in the text even after your professor makes attempts at penetrating your brain, open up this book and the light will go on. If I could only keep one of my contracts supplements, this would be it, hands down. It is a little pricey, but go for it anyway. I'm totally keeping this for the bar exam.

A REALLY GREAT CONTRACTS HORNBOOK .........2003-10-27

This is a really great COntracts Hornbook - Farnsworth lays out headnotes/topic sentences in the margins which narrate the particular paragraph/sub-issue you are reading - which assists one in building their outline - IE use the headnotes as one-line topic summary. HOWEVER < I ratd this a "4" because Farnsworth has dropped several of the older classic contract cases for newer - more current cases - therefore - to be REALLY complete - I would get the older edition Farnsworth Contracts as well ( so you are covered with all the casebook cases ) - they can be had for $5.00 - $10.00 just about anywhere. I had mine listed on AMAZON, but have withdrawn it because of this little issue - I use them both - the differences are pretty minor as far as the theory. Actually, the earlier editions is a lighter read - the footnote info of the later edition - are paragraphs in the earlier editions..

"Contract's"??.......2002-12-12

If the author's misuse of the apostrophe in the title is any indication of how they wrote the rest of the book, I would stay away.
