Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Textbook on EC Law is one of the leading textbooks in this area, providing a single book of manageable size which covers all the major areas of EC Law - constitutional, administrative, as well as substantive. The success of this approach, both at home and abroad, is reflected in the fact that this eighth edition is appearing only fifteen years after the first. The new edition is in response to far reaching changes taking place in the legal arena, and in the way the subject is being taught in law schools today.

Previous ed.: London: Blackstone, 2000.

Bibliography: (pages 665-669) and index.
