Bring the expertise of America's foremost authority on contracts into your practice with this thoroughly updated three-volume set. Farnsworth on Contracts, Second Edition, is where doctrine meets practice. Busy practitioners count on Famsworth's proven ability to identify the essentials and omit extraneous material. His comprehensive coverage of the full range of contract law answers questions in hundreds of important areas, including: Good faith and fair dealing -- Precontractual liability -- Agreements to negotiate -- Vienna Convention on International Sales -- Contracts -- UNIDROIT principles -- Constitutional issues -- Settlement of disputed claims by check -- Options and rights of first refusal -- Employee handbooks -- Covenants not to compete -- Self-help measures. He illustrates how contemporary contract law has been shaped by both the Restatement (Second) of Contracts for -- which he served as Reporter -- and the Uniform Commercial Code. Easy access to specifics, new cases, new drafting tips, new references, and timesaving features like cross-referenced cases and marginal heads make this three-volume set a valuable resource for litigation, arbitration, and practice. Farnsworth on Contracts was always the most authoritative contracts treatise -- in its Second Edition, it is also the most up-to-date.
