No, I’m not the seller. I only recently found a copy of my own. I’ve “had” to use my firms’ copies, for years.

It’s not only the first edition, it’s the ONLY edition (g).

The original price was $39.99. I thought it was a bargain, then.

    David, I would NEVER sell your book even at the value above.

  2. Much appreciated. (Still I think I know where there are 3 probably even more pristine copies, marred only be the author’s autograph.)

  3. The Law Commission of Ontario will shortly report on elements of your topic. It will be interesting to see what you think of their analysis.

    One should never say never but I can’t imagine how there’s anything new to be said in the “legal” analysis of the solidary liability issue that hasn’t already been said “almost recently” in a host of detailed studies including the Ontario Law Reform Commission report in 1986, New South Wales Law Commission report in 1998, some 1970s or 1980s England Law Reform Commission Reports, and the (Australian) Ipp Committee’s 2002 Report, studies out of the European Group on Tort Law, the Great Gnu knows how many studies by US law profs which including legions (or hosts, depending on one’s slant)) from the law and economics field,and, the granddaddy of them all, Glanville William’s 1951 text. (That one was weighty: amazon.com reports that it weighs 1.7 lbs.) 1951 was a good year. (Wllliam’s text was published. I was born. Strange coincidence, that.)

    Staying close to home, I’m curious to see what the LCO will have to say that hasn’t already been said about the legal issues, rather than political issues – “ought issues” – which won’t amount to “channeling” the OLRC’s report. I’m sure you know that the’s much wheel reinvention going on in here at both the legal and policy levels.
