I jumped at the opportunity to review this book because it is devoted to territory close to my heart and, to my shame, I had never previously encountered it, although it is now in its seventh edition. Where have I been? I almost jumped back again when I discovered its volume, but decided to remain in a static position upon encountering the colour of its cover. Green, white, red, brown, and the rainbow-loving At A Glance  I have done. But this is the first pink job for me, and it is a beautiful shade of pink.

Promises fulfilled

The book warrants a user-friendly, authoritative, clear and exhaustive analysis of consumer and trading standards law for consumer protection lawyers
