520    In this ...book, Scalia and Garner systematically explain 
       all the most important principles of constitutional, 
       statutory, and contractual interpretation ...- with 
       hundreds of illustrations from actual cases. Is a burrito 
       a sandwich? Is a corporation entitled to personal privacy?
       If you trade a gun for drugs, are you "using a gun" in a 
       drug transaction? The authors grapple with these and 
       dozens of equally curious questions while explaining the 
       most principled, lucid, and reliable techniques for 
       deriving meaning from authoritative texts. Meanwhile, the 
       book takes up some of the most controversial issues in 
       modern jurisprudence..." - Publisher.
