My Sympathies to Those in Con Law
I handed on my copy of Sullivan and Gunther's Con Law textbook to a 1L yesterday so she could avoid purchasing it. For those of you 1Ls having to work your way through this poor excuse for a textbook, believe me, you have my sympathies. If it's any consolation, to two links above describe my struggle with its poor editing, its needless prolixity, and its utterly unhelpful text heirarchy.
Of course, there's a new (and longer) edition now, so who knows, it might be better. Any opinions?

If you know anyone else who needs one, I'm more than happy to part with mine. And not a mark in it, after page 106...

Having done a page-by-page comparrison of the 14th and 15th edition, I can honestly state that there has been no improvement what-so-ever.

The new version is god awful, it takes two hours to read two pages. Mind-numbingly dense

I agree. It's useless an takes too much time to wade through. The notes are very poorly edited and the strings of cases supposedly showing the evolution of precedent do not help, as they leave out useful facts and focus on unhelpful minutiae. If not for Emanuel's I would be lost.
