Cheshire, Fifoot & Furmston\\\\\\\'s Law of Contract stands as one of
the classic textbooks on contract law more than 50 years after the
publication of the first edition.
Michael Furmston combines an authoritative account of the principles
of the law of contract with thought-provoking analysis and insights,
and the clarity of the narrative brings understanding of complex
contractual issues to a wider readership.
Each topic is clearly signposted for ease of navigation, and the text
contains numerous references to additional primary and secondary
sources to take the reader even further into the subject.
The text is invaluable to students reading courses in contract, the
law of obligations, and common law. It is also of real use to
students of other disciplines needing a clear overview of the law of
contract, and is often used as a first point of reference for
practitioners.
