Reviews of the Second Edition

'The book is a well-written, accessible and comprehensive account of alcohol and entertainment licensing. The second edition builds on the success of the first. It is a treasure trove of scholarship for the licensing practitioner. The skill and experience of its authors, combining both academic enquiry and practitioner know-how, put it well ahead of the other half dozen or so volumes published on 2003 Act.' - Professor Roy Light, Solicitors Journal

'This second edition of what has rapidly become the leading textbook on the subject is considerably larger than its predecessor … Certain chapters have been re-written and a considerable amount of material added to bring the volume up to nearly 1000 pages … Issues of prac­tical importance are raised in many dif­ferent areas … with the excellence of the presen­tation and the clarity of the progression [running] through all the new elements of the law. The attention to detail and accuracy are remarkable and the newly-added appen­dices are far-ranging enough to make this a reference volume in its own right.' - Licensing Review
