They are both good books, IMO, but they serve different needs (although
they both have "practical" in the title. 

Peter's book delves down into detail and cases etc - an excellent
resource for those who need to worry about the detail of the law.
Nicola's/Naomi's book is much shorter, practical, too the point. 
The lengths show the difference, Peter's is over 500 pages (but includes
legislation).  the other is 120 pages
