Sell Phipson on Evidence
The standard word on evidence, since long before your pupillage.
We buy any recent edition, with or without supplements.
Phipson on Evidence is part of Sweet & Maxwell's Common Law Library, alongside Chitty on Contracts and the White Book.
About the set
The standard text on the law of evidence.
Phipson on Evidence is the long-standing practitioner reference on the law of evidence in England and Wales — what's admissible, how it's weighed, and how it's handled at trial. Published by Sweet & Maxwell, it's a fixture in advocacy and litigation practices, cited across both civil and criminal work.
Edition
The most recent edition carries the most value, though earlier complete editions are still worth having valued.
Completeness
Main volume plus current supplement is worth most, but the main text alone is still of interest.
Condition
Sound bindings and clean pages matter more than perfection. Ordinary wear is expected, and priced in.
While you're here
We buy the rest of the shelf too.
Phipson on Evidence rarely sits alone. If you're clearing a library, we're also interested in the titles that usually sit alongside it.
