Thought this would be Glannon-esque...: I was not particularly impressed w/Blum. I feel that contracts is a complicated subject, but this did not assist me at all in my course. Granted, it could've been my teacher, but I feel that Blum essentially contradicted what my teacher said, which I found confusing about contract law, considering that it's supposedly cut and dry. I got a little use of it when learning restitution and reliance, and a friend told me it helped her w/the parol evidence rule, but I can honestly say most of it just presented huge questions that my teacher was not even raising in class or through the reading. So if you choose a contracts supplement, use it w/caution...you could go down a very bad road by choosing and relying upon the wrong supplement.
This is a good one: Good book, lots of fun, makes contracts... well, not easy, but not so tedious. Recommended by the prof, too.
Taught me Contracts!: This is a wonderful supplement to any Contracts Casebook. I felt that I learned nothing from my contracts class, professor and textbook - this supplement has explained the doctrine in a simple, well organized and thoughtful delivery. Definitely worthwhile!
Not bad...but: Blum has a tendency to be too wordy (ie. 30 pages on a subject, when 10-15 would have worked), especially when Blum doesn't take into consideration that most of these principles involve common sense. And now I appreciate Glannon's Torts and Civil Procedure hornbooks so much more. Glannon got to the point and gave frequent, relevant, excellent examples. Also, Blum gives good Examples to mull over, but lousy, meandering Explanations.
Excellent Contracts Treatise: This treatise is an excellent study aid. Mr. Blum does a superb job of covering basic Contracts material. There are no omissions as far as I know from the book, and I have not found any mistakes. Blum goes into just enough depth to make sure that you understand the material, and the examples and explanations section is extremely helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend this treatise.
