Law of Contract
I used this book last year as i am currently studying for a law degree and I would recommend this to any law undergraduate. Contract is a complicated subject and some books are too complex for a newbie to understand, whilst others are to simplistic to give you all the information you need, this one is neither, it manages to keep a good balance. In addition to this it has loads of cases and at the back it has extracts from statutes, meaning you can save money by not having to buy a casebook or a statute book

So useful!
I found this book extremely helpful!I was most worried about contract law as it is very intricate and complicated subject but these book really helped me understand it! this book was the number one recomended on my university reading list for a reason!
