BENJAMIN’S SALE OF GOODS (3rd Edition). General Editor A. G. Guest, M.A., F.C.I.A., Bencher of Gray’s Inn, Professor of English Law in the University of London. Sweet & Maxwell, London (1987, cxl and 1608 pp., plus 49 pp. Appendices and 30 pp. Index). Hardback £96. The General Editor begins his Preface to the third edition of the modern Benjamin by stating that no changes have been made to the basic structure of the work. In one sense little remains to be said about this book about which so much could be said. It has been efficiently brought up to date to the standards of the previous two editions, a not inconsiderable task given the number of developments in some areas. Although primarily a practitioners’ text, the academic background of the authors remains clear, so that it continues to provide a thorough, reasoned exposition of the central area of commercial law. This is to be expected from the well known team of editors, now joined by C. G. J. Morse, who has taken over the section on Conflict of Laws and contributed a number of interesting submissions in that context on the continually active area of retention of title clauses.
