A law book is a book about law. It is possible to make a distinction between "law books" on the one hand, and "books about law" on the other. [1] This distinction is "useful". [2] A law book is "a work of legal doctrine". [1] It consists of "law talk", that is to say, propositions of law. [2] "The first duty of a law book is to state the law as it is, truly and accurately, and then the reason or principle for it as far as it is known". [3] The "first requisite in a law-book is perfect accuracy". [4] A "law book is supposed to state what the law is rather than what it is not". [5] "One great desideratum in a law book is facility of reference". [6] A "list of law books and related materials" is a legal bibliography. [7]
