Little in Size, Large in Significance Hoeflich, M.H. Moreland, John. Little Law Books. Clark, New Jersey: Talbot Publishing, 2025. 26 pp., b&w illustrations. ISBN-13: 9781616197056. ISBN-10: 1616196056. Paperback. New. $14.95 * The phrase "law books" often conjures the image of endless rows of folios or quartos on a shelf, attesting to the learning and stature of their owner. There is no question that larger formats have dominated Anglo-American legal publishing. However, as Hoeflich and Moreland demonstrate, books of smaller size were of no lesser importance. Whether carried by a Carolingian royal official, a territorial judge riding circuit, a Philadelphia farmer, or a primary school student, little law books made legal principles practical and portable. Today, they are a rich source of historical insights--and aesthetic pleasures--for the legal historian or bibliophile.
