The incredible true story of how one man turned his life around through the companionship of his best friend. For years, John Dolan had been living rough, trying his best to get by. Born and bred on the estates of east London, his early life was marked by neglect and abuse, and his childhood gift for drawing was stamped out by the tough realities outside his front door. As he grew older, he found himself turning to petty crime to support himself and ended up in prison. On coming out, with a record and no trade, he soon found himself on the streets, surviving day-by-day, living hand-to-mouth. It wasn’t until he met George, a tearaway Staffy puppy, that his life changed for the better. To begin with, George was a handful: he had been abused himself and was scared of human contact. But in a matter of weeks. John and George had become inseparable. It was then that John decided to pick up his long-forgotten gift for drawing, sitting on Shoreditch High Street for hours at a time, sketching pictures of George which he would sell to passers-by. With his best friend by his side, and a pencil in his hand, John suddenly found his life’s calling. Last autumn, John put on his first gallery show just across the road from where he had sat and sketched for three years. It sold out. Now, John and George are no longer homeless and live just around the corner from where they first met on the streets.

This book reflects the authors' belief that to teach only the rules would give students a false sense and static understanding of what commercial law is all about and what makes it exciting. This book is also an effective platform for a more detailed approach to the rules of commercial law. Problems could be easily supplemented text to provide students with a more technical understanding of these rules. The authors emphasize some of the rules because those rules help students understand the basic concepts. Most of the study deals with the UCC, specifically Articles 9, 3, 4, and 5.

The book illustrates each section of UCC Article 5 (the letter of credit article) with historical analysis that explains each section's purpose. It is folly to read Article 5 literally, and it is disastrous to see it as characterizing the letter of credit as a unique form of contract. The historical exegesis the book presents makes it clear that letters of credit are unique, idiosyncratic undertakings for which the Article fashions unique, idiosyncratic rules. There was, moreover, an abundant body of common law that preceded codification of letter of credit law in the Uniform Commercial Code. The book includes that rich common law history, setting it forth section by section. It enhances the common law explication with drafting history and with explanations by serious letter of credit commentators.
