Nutshells summarize the law on one topic. Like a Hornbook each Nutshell is only one volume, but that volume is far smaller than a Hornbook. One can read a Nutshell in one sitting.

Hornbooks summarize the law on one topic in one volume. They do not provide the exhaustive explanation of a Treatise, but they are substantial enough to avoid the inaccuracy that sometimes results from oversimplification in some Nutshells.
