Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (Lives and Legacies Series)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $2.41

Customer Review:

Who better to write a short biography of Justice Holmes than the author of the virtually definitive major biography of the Justice, "Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes: Law and the Inner Self." This short biography is part of Oxford's "Lives and Legacies" series. I had some concern that the book would... more info

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes: Law and the Inner Self
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $16.50

Customer Review:

Two apsects strike me in reading about Holmes. First is his life. What a great subject. Holmes is almost as exciting to read about as Lincoln. The second is his jurisprudence. White does a fine job covering both. I like White's style. Somewhat loose but never inaccurate, his biography is very... more info

The Essential Holmes: Selections from the Letters, Speeches, Judicial Opinions, and Other Writings of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $16.52

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

The Justice from Beacon Hill: The Life and Times of Oliver Wendell Holmes
from Harpercollins
Price: $5.95

Customer Review:

A magnificent study of egotism at its fullest. It is easy to understand why Holmes reached the status that he did, because he spent his life in an effort to maintain the social status that he thought was his. He may have been an intellectual, but it seems he directed his efforts at establishing and... more info

Customer Review:

An interesting range of thoughtful opinions, imbedded in a look at American life in the 1850s, by the father of a future Supreme Court Associate Justice. Part of the charm of this book is in the fact that at that time horses had been the only means of human-assisted transportation for the last few... more info

The information is incorrect! You can't print this thing out! Had I known that, I would've dropped the $8 on a paper copy!

The Common Law
from Dover Publications
Price: $7.81

Customer Review:

Holmes is intelligent and thoughtful, but lots of his thoughts are in Latin. Since many readers, including myself, did not benefit from a Catholic or a Classical education, I confess I cannot read it. It is very frustrating to someone who spends a lot of time on footnotes when these require... more info
