Press and Industry Reviews

(Review of 6/e)

"Chappelle has made considerable efforts to write a book that is likely to appeal to modern students with... references to contemporary and other sources which serve to provide excellent illustrations of her points whilst indicating some of the practical applications of land law."

"...it has a more modern aura... and it has the benefit of the web-based updating service that makes life so much easier for contemporary students who perhaps would not have the patience to queue in the law library clutching this week's case list."
