Grant Gilmore (1910–1982)

A genuinely funny book on contracts. It is a irreverent tour through the history of a fundamental area of the law. Gilmore combined a sharp sense of the absurd with a comprehensive knowledge of contract law to craft these excellent lectures.

A witty and erudite intellectual history of American law.

A very readable and engaging lecture on the history and development of contracts in western civilization. Everyone should read this book.

A classic work on contract law.
