Tied of reading black letter law... - By: G. Humphrey, 03 Mar 2008 
Pick this up. An excellent night time read, full of zany, waggish & yet educational information relating to old laws.

Funny, daft and bizarre and almost educational!!! - By: Michael Bird, 16 Apr 2007 
I bought the book because i was bored to be honest & am studying a LLB course & decided i would like to cover some really old laws, &in doing so i stumbled across this little beauty.
Its great laughter all the way through & makes you both proud & shamed to be english, but its also been a great helpin learning history to do with my law degree, helps to form a broad knowledge, but besides that, it is superb read for law or non law person alike..
Full or weird and wacky laws and facts... - By: Iceni Peasant, 27 Mar 2006 On first viewing this book looks like the standard type of book you'd get as a freebie from a book club, butin fact it's more than just an "also ran". It's a fascinating read.
The book is divided into lots of chapters, covering most subjects you can think ofin law, with stories/facts relating to the use of the obscure laws through the ages.
It's hard to put this book down once you start reading. Some of the laws will shock, some will make you laugh out loud & others will just confuse the mind! It's also an excellent book to just pick up & read a section here & there, so is an ideal coffee-table read.
The only down points are the constant editing mistakes....bothin spelling & grammar. Hopefully by the next printed edition those will have been resolved.
Over all, a very enjoyable read.
This book - By: Nick, 12 Dec 2005 I would recommend this book to anyone who is interestedin the quirky history of England.
This book contains a lot of old laws which, for some reason, are still laws even to this day.
This book provides an entertaining read, & also provides an insight into the history of these laws, how they originated & how they were upheld.
I do not regret buying this book, & is worth the moneyin my opinion.
