Actually my dad hunted and hunted and eventually found 1 tatty book dated 1926 by my grandfather, on contract law, but its written in what I think is a High German font and I cannot make head nor tail of it.
Thing about law books, as I know from the 5' high pile my lawyer daughter abandoned at my house when she bought her own flat,is that they become out of date real quick.

As an aside you have an interesting heritage with a grandfather from Germany. I have a grandmother that was buried in Leeds. I remember looking at the gravestone back in the 1950's. Will have to come over to Leeds one of these days. I also have a pic of a house she lived in on Vinery Road, Leeds.
