The eleventh edition ofTextbook on Land Law continues to guide students through the principles of contemporary land law from a practical perspective. It focuses on the modern law, confining discussion of historical developments to the minimum necessary to understand basic principles, and allowing students to concentrate on the law as it is now.

The book is consistently recommended to students for its accuracy and ease of use. Its continued popularity lies in the clarity of expression, addressing the subject in depth without loosing the main points in a welter of detail. Rules are illustrated by reference to real-life situations in a fictitious town, bringing the subject to life and enhancing the reader's understanding of problem areas. Useful features of the book include a glossary, sample documents and further reading references.

The unique and straightforward approach taken by the authors has established Textbook on Land Law as the ultimate practical land law book that makes an otherwise difficult and dry subject interesting and accessible.
