I ordered two books and paid extra for faster shipping. One book they didn’t have instock so I had to order it from someone else. The other book still took a week to get to me. Overall it was fine.

Particularly when compared to the classic Prosser & Keaton, it is pretty clear that this text is geared toward tort “reform.” There are long excerpts from law review articles written by the authors (how modest.) Conservative points of view are offered without “alternatives.” The history of torts in the common law is rather distorted, particularly regarding strict liability which these authors present like it is a surprising new invention. The Products Restatement is overemphasized. And too many cases that come out aberrantly for the defense are included. If nothing else deters you from registering for the class that uses this book, consider how you would feel about a book called “Tax Law and Alternatives” or “Contract Law and Alternatives.” This is law school folks. The alternatives are Med School and B-School. As long as you’re in law school please try to find out what the law is. What somebody thinks it should be is all well and good, but it is not helpful to present “alternatives” as thought they are the current state of tort law.

I ordered a book from this seller on July 24th. After 10 days, my book had still not been shipped so I sent an email to the seller to which I received no reply. After another week and a half, I sent another email to the seller letting them know that my classes were starting soon and that I would have to buy the book from another source unless I received an assurance from them that my book would be shipped immediately. Again, I received no reply. I was forced to buy the book at over twice the cost from the book store at my school because I could not afford to wait another week for a copy to be shipped from another amazon seller. Obviously, I am extremely unhappy with this seller. This person represents everything that is wrong with online shopping and amazon should cancel their account so as to prevent them from causing similar problems to other shoppers in the future.
