Fantastic first year contracts book! Bow down to this man's UCC 2-207 chapter for it helped me score the highest grade on my Contracts exam. His flow charts, his hypos, and his answers make this book one of the Greats in the E&E series. Look out Professor Glannon ;)
No UCC My contract class may have been a little unusual because we spent so much time on the UCC, but there was so little UCC in this book, I didn't find it very useful at all. My professor also spent a fair amount of time on the Restatement Second of Contracts, which is also covered only minimally in this book. I'm sure if your class is very common law and case driven, this book would be fine, but if you spent any significant time on the UCC of RS(2d), this may not be the book for you.
Between Corbin & Emanual Some students prefer the classic hornbooks while others opt for Emanual. However, more and more students are leaning toward Examples and Explanations. It might be just what you're looking for.
not as good as other Examples and Explanations I had a great experience with the Civil Procedure Examples and Explanations, and was expecting a similar experience with Contracts. Unfortunately, this book was not nearly as easy to understand. If I have a question in Contracts, I cannot refer to this book as I could in Civil Procedure.
Dense, but good This has a different feel from Glannon's CivPro book in this series. This book has A LOT more substance. But I'm loving it. Adding an 800 page supplement to your textbook reading can be tough, but if you can manage it, I've found it well worth it.
