This is an excellent book. The current fourth edition of the Guide to the Law has been extensively rewritten to take account of changes in the law (in particular on tenancies and divorce) and is now right up to date. I particularly like its very straightforward and accessible style - I wish all reference books were as clearly written! The book gives practical and detailed advice on the law covering the family, housing, welfare benefits, employment, the consumer, insolvency, business, motoring, personal injury, civil liberties and human rights, the English legal system, and legal jargon. Pritchard has a knack of making complex legal points clear by offering a few examples, and he lightens the book with occasional flashes of wit. The text is illustrated with numerous useful diagrams, flow charts and samples of relevant legal documents. The index is well laid out and comprehensive and the book gives sensible pointers on where to go for more detailed advice on most parts of the law. In my view this is by far the most useful and best written guide to the English law available.
