Reviews

`this book, with its erudite and elegant prose, provides an eloquent memorial to one of the leading English legal scholars of this century ... Dr Mann has strong views which are expressed clearly, often magisterially ... The Legal Aspect of Money remains a monumental work, pre-eminent in its field and a paradigm of the value of comparative legal scholarship. It has much to offer both practitioners and academics.' British Yearbook of International Law `It may not be out of place to say a few words about the reputation of this work and its learned author. The Legal Aspect of Money must rank as one of the great legal publications in English of the century ... The erudition is staggering and the amount of literature, legislation and case law surveyed is prodigious. As an essay in comparative law on a highly technical topic it can have few rivals. Of all Mann's copious publications it is the one for which he is best known and will best be remembered.' The Cambridge Law Journal `an unrivalled standard work' Sir Leonard Hoffmann, Guardian `[has] attained an almost biblical authority' Daily Telegraph `virtually canonical' The Times a book described by central bankers as the Bible of international monetary law. * Times Online *
