The Definitive Work,
By Louis Janowski (Madison, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Incoterms for Americans (Fully Revised for Incoterms 2000) (Paperback)
No sane person reads about INCO terms for fun, and if your work requires that you understand the details of international quotes & shipping then this is a required reference work. The author, who sat on the international drafting committee, is perhaps as knowledgable on this subject as any American. He also teaches an excellent seminar on the subject.

Technical topic made easy to understand,
By Roy Becker (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Incoterms for Americans (Fully Revised for Incoterms 2000) (Paperback)
After I first read Mr. Reynold's predecessor book on Incoterms I felt I finally understood this technical topic. The new book, fully revised for Incoterms 2000, follows the same format. Each chapter is devoted to one of the 13 Incoterms so it can be easily digested. Each chapter contains an easy to read scenario of how the Incoterm may be used in a real international trade transaction and how it affects all other phases of the transaction including the ability or inability to collect payment. The most valuable feature is the ending section of each chapter, entitled "American Perspective." It discusses how Americans should or should not use this particular term, or at least be aware of any caution flags. Incoterms for Americans is a valuable commentary on an important topic.

Excellent book for people in this field,
This review is from: Incoterms for Americans (Fully Revised for Incoterms 2000) (Paperback)
I found this book to be full of information. Instead of giving a vague and general outline of the Incoterms (for example, just listing EXW as buyer pays all shipping), Reynolds go full bore into the subject with what if's scenarios, detailed look at each one and tells you how each contract is implemented and the limits of each term. He even put copies of pro formas for some of the incoterms!
Considering the fact that this book is more than half the price of the ICC book and tailored to Americans, I highly recommend it!
