Colleagues,

If asked to list the three leading Canadian torts texts I'd have no

trouble (Fridman 2nd ed.; Klar 4th ed.; Linden & Feldthusen 8th ed.).  

But I am having trouble putting together similar lists for other

countries and thought I'd ask the experts - you - rather than trolling

various publishers' web sites.

I am looking to identify doctrinal reference works rather than

monographs or student-focused books.

1.  What are the leading Australian texts?  When is the 10th edition of

Fleming expected?

2.  What are the leading American texts?  I know of Dobbs (2000) and of

course Prosser & Keeton (1984).

3.  What are now the leading English texts?  I gather a new edition of

Clerk & Lindsell is coming later this year.  What of Winfield &

Jolowicz?  Or Salmond & Heuston?  I also know of Markesinis & Deakin's

Tort Law 6th ed.

My thanks in advance.  I ask for selfish reasons - I want to know, and

this could save me some time - but the answers might interest others too.
