Review
The sixth edition of The Modern Law of Contract by Richard Stone was published in the summer in good time for tutors to consider its merits for the new academic year. The text book market is a very crowded one and some might legitimately argue that it is saturated; however, this established text continues to improve with each edition...The aim of the book is stated to "provide a comprehensive but readable account" of the modern law of contract. It does this in a very clear, uncomplicated, writing style and this makes the subject accessible to the reader. One of the great strengths of this book is that the adopted style is not at the expense of detail and analysis. Furthermore, the layout of the text is also to be commended, as the narrative is continuous and free of the recent trend to include flowcharts, boxes, coloured text and "test yourself" type questions...Richard Stone's book is a comprehensive yet concise account of the law of contract and from my own experience it works well as the recommended core text. The aim of the book has been achieved and the result is a very readable account of the law that is both rigorous and challenging. As with any academic book, one may argue about the place of certain topics and the treatment of certain cases, but this should not detract from its overall strengths, which are its style, clarity of writing and content. The Law Teacher, Volume 39, Number 3, 2005. Chris Shepherd, London South Bank University.
