The "Bible" of WTO Law,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Legal Texts: The Results of the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations (World Trade Organization Legal Texts) (Paperback)
It is not without good reason that this book is referred to in WTO Law as "The Bible". This book contains all the legal text relevant to current WTO law. The short and simple truth is that if you're studying or working in any field involving WTO Law, you'll need this book. Like most government or international organization publications it could use better organizing and have better indexes, but on the whole it does its job more than adequately.

WTO Uruguay Round Legal Texts,
By
This review is from: The Legal Texts: The Results of the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations (World Trade Organization Legal Texts) (Paperback)
The WTO Legal Texts, copublished by the WTO and Cambridge University Press, is a essential reference for anyone working on WTO issues. Although the WTO agreements are available to the public on the WTO website, as well as the worldtradelaw.net website, most scholars and practitioners will want a compact volume to carry and to underline. Cambridge U. Press has put a sturdy binding on the paperback volume. The one flaw in the volume is that it omits the plurilateral agreements, such as the Agreement on Government Procurement. It would also be helpful in a future edition to improve the usability of the Table of Contents.

PLEASE DISREGARD THE 1 RATING,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Legal Texts: The Results of the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations (World Trade Organization Legal Texts) (Paperback)
PLEASE DISREGARD THE 1 RATING. I wish to take that rating back.
I gave him that rating before. Unfortunately, I cannot remove it now that it has been 60 days. However, I should have made it a 3 out of 5. So I'm giving him a 5 to even it out. Andrew168 made a mistake but he eventually corrected it. I got my money back. There are no problems anymore. Furthermore, the book itself was in fantastic condition I must say.
