Customer Reviews

Excellent

What I liked best about the guide is that it gives concise summaries of rather complicated topics. The writing is excellent and conveys the materials much more clearly than the Casebook. For example, Chapter One's International Sales of Goods summary of the CISG was excellent. It skipped the historical background, author's stories, and other non-essential materials often found in other study guides and got right to the point: the U.S. is not bound by Article 1(1)(b), the CISG is federal law that pre-empts Article 2 of the UCC where applicable, etc. Though each chapter is concise, this does not mean that the book lacks depth. The tiny book covers the CISG, UNIDROIT, electronic letters of credit, the TRIPS Agreement, gray market goods, the GATT/WTO, and the OECD's Multilateral Agreement on Investment, to name just a few topics.

Thorough introduction to international business transactions

I found the bood to be very informative, and very easy to understand, unlike other law books on the matter. It was a short read, and a thorough introduction to international business transactions.
