Bang up to date (at the time of writing - December 2011), this 9th edition was only published in September 2011, so the information's written in the context of the latest case law.
I'm an Equality Officer in the local branch of my trade union, and represent union members, my colleagues and co-workers, on a regular basis, both in equality discrimination cases and for day to day employment issues. This latest edition of 'Employment Law' has a substantial section on the Equality Act 2010, as well as advice on running a discrimination case and checklists.
The knowledge it provides updates my TU training. Even though my last ERA (Employment Relations Act) update training to update my knowledge of relevant legislation, which we're required to do every 4-5 years, was only 18 months ago, there have been significant changes in some areas of legislation - in particular the area of equality legislation with the Equality Act 2010. 'Employment Law' is essential reading for any trade union rep who wants to keep their knowledge up to date and on a par with (or sometimes ahead of, depending how efficient they are!) their HR officers.
Maybe a little on the pricey side for every TU rep to own a copy, but every union office should have a copy or two of this book for its reps to refer to when representing members.

THE DEFINITIVE TEXT ON EMPLOYMENT LAW FOR ADVISERS AND NON-LAWYERS TOO: NOW IN IT'S NINTH EDITION
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
If you're a practitioner preparing a case for an employment tribunal or representing your client, the new edition of `Employment Law' by Tamara Lewis should be your next must-have purchase. Even if you are not a lawyer but advising a client, please note that this book is Claimant focussed and therefore relevant to you, whether you're an employee, or employer.
Published by the ever reliable and knowledgeable Legal Action Group, this new edition offers literally a wealth of plain, practical, advice which should save you a lot of time and money in the event of a claim. It should certainly steer you in the direction of what questions to ask your professional adviser.
Since the publication of the previous edition, this new ninth edition contains vital new material on such issues as the Equality Act 2010, multiple discrimination, the consequences of the abolition of the default retirement age and the new rights relating to paternity leave. There are new agency worker regulations which you've probably heard about - and, particularly if you are an employer, or in-house legal adviser, you should be aware of the new laws against the blacklisting of trade unionists.
As Tamara Lewis points out, the practical emphasis of the book dictates that as much space is devoted to evidence, precedents and checklists as to setting out the law. So usefully, there are ample resources for your further research, including index and appendices, together with tables of cases, statutes, statutory instruments and a table of European legislation. The book is up to date as at August 2011.

Format:Paperback
This is a very good HR Practitioner level reference book. It is easy to read and has some good examples to refer to. For the HR professional looking for a more detailed legal reference, it may not be enough.
