Encyclopedia of Information Technology Law

I thought that Legal IT as a viable field only started at around 1995 to 1997, but it turns out there was already a Legal IT Encyclopedia for the UK even before that time. It was first published in 1990 by Sweet & Maxwell, back in the MS-DOS days!

From the product page:

"This Encyclopedia is an essential tool for the modern lawyer and contains detailed analysis on topics such as the admissibility of computer evidence, compliance with the rules on data protection, capital allowances for investment in software and the problems of transferring software licences on the sale of a business.* The work boasts a team of experts drawn from the leading city firms and prominent academics* Updated three times per year allowing access to the very latest developments* Includes UK and EC legislation in comprehensive appendices"

It can be purchased at the link below, but its quite expensive (GBP 648 = around PhP64,800), at least for me, I think.
