Gosh, Prof. Blackman promoting himself on a Forum devoted to serious discussions about law, public policy and the like. Who saw that coming?

Hopefully he will soon be promoting hia new book, "How to Live a Life in Which You Cannot be Shamed, or How I learned to Stop Loving Anyone Else but Myself"

Does the book cover the corruption of Marbury? Does it mention Dred Scott at all, with its made up shit of substantive due process to abrogate a ratified international treaty, reverse a law that prevented war for 30 years, and just break the law and constitution?

I was trying to recall the name of the inscrutable contracts book used at Harvard. I ran across a ton of cheap or free courses open to the public at Harvard. My compliments to Harvard. This is a great program.

Eh this isn’t so bad as far as self promotion goes. Pretty standard for academia to promote your new edition. Lot of profs I like do it too, so I won’t begrudge him.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

I concur.

"Who saw that coming?"

Somin pimps his books all the time.

It is useful to learn about books one may want to buy. I do not see anything wrong with descriptions or even blog posts about them. It is now standard part of marketing to blog about the business. Fill the search engines with the subject. Show customers what you can do for them.

When did the first edition come out? Because, let me tell you, that publisher's ConLaw textbook (that looked pretty much identical to that) in the early 2000s was, without doubt, the worse casebook I had of any class in law school. The thing was virtually unreadable.

Whether or not that was yours, I hope this one actually uses headings and basic typography concepts.

The major legal publishers don't just publish 1 Con Law casebook apiece. For example, the same publisher that publishes Blackman/Barnett also publishes the casebook by Paul Brest, Sanford Levinson, Jack M. Balkin, Akhil Reed Amar, and Reva B. Siegel among other casebooks.

Just FYI, the links on your purchase website are mixed up. The link for the casebook takes you to a page to purchase Constitutional Rights, and the link to purchase Constitutional rights takes you to a page to purchase the casebook.

Given Josh’s attention to detail, I expect something like this
