New Book -- Rules By Topic

Has anyone seen this book yet and can you offer your opinions on it? I'm just about to order my books and I'm wondering if it's worth $7.

I like it. I don't know if I like this or Redding's guide better. This book kind of restates both the rule and case book, but one thing I like about it that it brings all aspects of the rule together, from the definitions to the enforcement.

I say it is worth the $7.

I am going thru the Redding book while I am on vacation, then the Rules by Topic. Just at the glance I've had though, it looks really good.

It's a good $7 investment. I don't like it as well as the (Demetriou) Rules Study Guide because I like the quiz/test portions of the Study Guide and I find it easy to follow.

As I've mentioned in some of my articles, there is value in looking at the rules from a different perspective/orientation. It gives you a little different look and, at least for me, that helps reinforce the rules.
