What happened?? I never received this book. I never heard back from the seller after sending 2 emails. not reliable!!
Very, very helpful - even for the Bar I have the 2001 edition (first?) and it was very helpful in getting me through my real property class in law school. I've also been using it to help me during bar review, and it's been a godsend in getting me through covenants & equitable servitudes. I would assume the newer edition is even better. I would highly recommend it.
Essential to Understanding What's Actually Going On Some of Property is pretty straightforward, and other topics are ridiculously counterintuitive. This book makes it so much easier to put it all together and make it ALL make sense. Especially essential if your prof is the type who likes to hear himself talk and never take questions ...
Get this book if you have a riddle-talkin' professor! This book got me through my Property Exam, especially the parts concerning conveyances. If you have a professor who'd rather ramble on for hours on end about conveyances, without really explaining what all the terms mean, then you are going to need this book. The other parts are also helpful -- covenants, nuisance, and restrictions on land use -- but I mainly focused on the conveyance sections.
