Saved my bacon

The casebook and two days of classes left me utterly befogged - but an evening with this book cleared the mental clouds and clued me in. Most useful: the pages of questions - you get to test your understanding and check your answers against the detailed explanations. Lots and lots of questions, so you go over each point time and again. Especially useful for the Rule against Perpetuities.
