This is the best book I've ever read about international business law. It is a very good guide to all issues concerning international law since the choice of a applicable law for a contract passing through contract contents, labor and taxes international legislation, ethics and finishing with the very new cyber law. This is a book to be read for specialists in both international law and international business, but also for practitioners of international trade. We have adodpted this book in our course of International Business Law at Universidad del Istmo in Guatemala. The best book I have consulted in the field.

This book is essentially important for every business person dealing in international arena and every student seeking careers in multinational businesses. The author covers almost all aspects of governing laws related to international trade. My personal statement would be that this book is not to just read but to use it in everyday's practices as a desk reference.

I'm a law student at a top 14 school. This is one of the worst books I've encountered in my law school career, riddled with error and ambiguity. At its best it merely summarizes statutory law. At its worst it's wordy, unclear, and treats thorny issues with a swipe of the hand.

Luckily, though, the book does provide pictures and shaded maps, for those law students who don't know where Europe is located. (See pg. 400). That's about the level at which this book is pitched.

In sum, this book is excruciating to have to work with.

This book provides a wealth of information to help anyone improve their understanding of International Business Law.

These guys got their Ph.D.'s but lack basic knowledge in world history! They listed Armenia among the Islamic nations of the world, which is extremely IGNORANT to say the least...
FYI, Armenia has been Christian since 301 A.D.!

Could we expect a correction, let alone apologies?....

I am currently taking a class that uses this textbook and I am ready to throw this thing into a woodchipper.

It might be okay if each chapter wasn't constantly being interrupted by the case files, but, no, the readability of this book is completely shot because multi-page case files cut right into a chapter section, making it nearly impossible to keep track of what section I'm reading. I hate, hate, HATE this book because of those case files. The case files should have been put at the end of the chapter material!!!

Oh, and a little color would be nice. A book couldn't be more boring than this one.

Its one redeeming value is that it will save you a fortune in prescription sleep aids. Start reading it and you'll be asleep before your head hits the desk.
