Don't know if that makes any difference in your eyes...
Indeed, that is usually the case with us. Which is why I couldn't count most of my reading towards the 50-book challenge – unfairly in my view, as all the time I spent reading law books was time I didn't spend reading other books. I just decided it would be a good idea to read the whole book before my exam. Especially since it says in the introduction that it's best read as a whole.
About law books not counting: if you read a non-fiction pop-science book, doesn't that count? So why is this different?
Yes, that is one we covered. English decisions based on American translations of French analyses of Roman law are even used in Scotland
.
I think it's interesting that recent decisions like The Achilleas (200
have swung back to the original principles of Baxendale, which date from 1854, after a bit of deviation in recent decades.
Also, we never read the whole book in most classes in law school. They would have us read something like pp. 100-350, then 400-925, then 1100-1128.

Does your contract case book have the famous Hadley v. Baxendale? It's been used as a precedent all around the world, which makes sense considering it was an English decision based on an American translation of a Frenchman's analysis of the Code of Justinian.
