Now available is the Corbin on Contracts Desk Edition. The Desk Edition provides a single-volume compendium of contract law, giving effective, efficient, accurate, and current analysis of all the tenets of the law of contracts.  It is not merely an abridged version of the fifteen-volume landmark work. This single volume publication is a new and original work authored by one of the leading contracts experts in the world today, Dr. John Murray Jr.  Although it is a product complete unto itself, through the use of numerous practice resource references incorporated into every chapter, the Desk Edition provides the user with immediate reference to the multitude of case law citations, statutes, and other relevant material found in the full fifteen-volume Corbin treatise. In short, the user of the Desk Edition is provided with both a single-volume explanation of contract law and also with a vehicle that offers the option of doing deeper research by providing particular, continuous, and accurate references to the master treatise.
