1.		How Judges Think from Harvard University Press Price: $19.77 Customer Review: I would agree with many of the reviewers that this is Posner at his finest. Although I tend to be skeptical of his articulation of pragmatism (especially via his selective use of economic theory), I found that this book really destroys the false binary that posits a clear split between activist and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Economic Analysis of Law from Wolters Kluwer Law & Business Price: $101.60 Customer Review: First of all, the law and economics movement did not originate with Richard Posner. To his credit, he does reference the men who collectively formulated the modern utilitarian theory called "law and economics." Pay attention to the enormous amount of spelling errors and poor syntax in the first... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		Not a Suicide Pact: The Constitution in a Time of National Emergency (Inalienable Rights) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $12.89 Customer Review: In another, perhaps better world, Judge Posner would have been a Republican nominee for the Supreme Court. His age reputedly barred him in this one. Unfortunately, for this book, you could probably stop at the title, and that would give you the gist. Judge Posner's thesis is that at a time... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		The Little Book of Plagiarism from Pantheon Price: $8.76 Customer Review: This is my first time reading Posner, who is very prolific, and I was very pleased. He is able to be very analytic while still remaining very readable (I read the book in probably two hours). He uses a lot of examples both current and from history (Shakespeare etc.) to examine the subject of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		Antitrust Law, Second Edition from University Of Chicago Press Price: $34.00 Customer Review: If I had to suggest the purchase of this book I would recommend it. There is almost everything in the book about US antitrust. But some warnings are necessary. It's not for students. It's not for lawyers. Maybe scholars and judges can be interested. The author highlights what is not coherent in the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		The Economic Structure of Intellectual Property Law from Belknap Press Price: $39.20	Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		Law and Literature: Revised and Enlarged Edition from Harvard University Press Price: $21.60 Customer Review: People who have an appetite for words and the law will enjoy and profit from "Law and Literature." The prolific Richard Posner has updated his intellectually stimulating first edition to present once again an important study of how the fields of literature and law intersect and inform each other. As... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		The Problems of Jurisprudence from Harvard University Press Price: $23.85 Customer Review: For newcomers to the philosophy of law and for anyone interested in legal reasoning and the difficult problems of jurisprudence, this book gives an excellent overview. The author discusses the history of the subject as well as giving a thorough discussion of modern developments. In addition, many... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		The Essential Holmes: Selections from the Letters, Speeches, Judicial Opinions, and Other Writings of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. from University Of Chicago Press Price: $18.00 Customer Review: This is a fantastic and accessible tour through the work of one of the greatest prose stylists of the 20th century--within the law or outside it. Holmes's style is clear-eyed without being cynical, concrete without being simplistic, and erudite without being pedantic. Just when a thought threatens... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Catastrophe: Risk and Response from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $15.25 Customer Review: This is a very interesting book but it didn't quite grab me. It is a very academic book, almost like a text book. This book would make a better lecture. Most of his meat in the book comes from economic cost benefit analysis. That information probably comes across better in a lecture. First the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
