Personal property law is perhaps the one critical area of commercial law which has received relatively less attention in academic literature as a standalone subject than it merits, possibly due to the common misconception that the subject is simply a collection of discrete legal categories. This is rather perplexing, considering that personal property is, by definition and jurisprudentially, all property interests that are not an interest in land, and it certainly warrants specialist treatment. The authors of The Law of Personal Property have, in their third edition, achieved a tremendous feat at publishing what might be the most comprehensive treatise on the subject to date. I salute the authors for the breadth, depth and critical analysis in this third edition, which only goes to demonstrate the significance of personal property law in our daily lives, and that the subject is far greater than the sum of its parts.
