Reviews

`Review from previous edition "This is a book to recommend to any student experiencing difficulty in grasping the essential principles of land law; the principles are clearly explained and comprehension is aided by numerous examples and, occasionally by diagram."'
Solicitors' Journal
`"Mr Riddall is to be congratulated on his efforts which have produced a book which should be of considerable value both to students of land law who are not law students, and to law students who have difficulty in coming to grips with the subject."'
The Conveyancer
`"The text is clear and well illustrated by written examples and diagrams."'
