Jill Poole's Textbook on contract law remains the foremost student text on Contract Law. It is the perfect text for students undertaking contract law study for the first time and also for continuing students as a point of reference. Andrew H Baker, Senior Lecturer, School of Law, Liverpool John Moores University. Poole has always proved dependable, providing reasonable depth and breadth within a confined package. The subject is introduced and developed in an authoritative yet accessible style. Students find the text engaging and are encouraged to go further.
