Thorough, readable, attractive layout.
|
I used several texts for the contract module in the first year of my P-T LLB, in particular Ansons, Stone, Cheshire Furmston & Fifoot and THIS ONE! I found Poole to be by far the most readable and attractively laid out. I may be unusual in that visual layout (typeface, text size, use of colour and shading etc.) has a substantial effect on my span of attention and ability to "soak up" the material. But this is not to detract from the quality of the material. I found concepts very easy to grasp yet there was more than enough detail too. I also purchased poole's casebook, however, I found the summary in the textbook to be excellent and reference to the full case from Westlaw/Lexis was my favoured mode of study.
Poole writes in a very understandable manner, covers the material superbly and helped me achieve 75% in my written exam - which I think says a lot given that I'm a part-time student of 36 years of age with no prior academic background. I can't really recommend it more highly.
