Editorial Reviews

Review

`The contributions are thoroughly researched and are valuable both for their thoughtful evaluation of so many aspects of the problem of takeover regulation and for the extensive references to comparative materials and practical examples. Professor Farrar is to be congratulated on his achievement in bringing together this remarkable assembly of contributors and in putting together his own and their papers to make a very worthwhile publication.' Lloyd's Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly

`This book is a competent compilation.' International Company and Commercial Law Review

This review is from: The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido (Kindle Edition)

My original review was based on the fact that the formatting was broken on the Kindle. It's been fixed since then (whoobah!). I'll update this review once I've made it through the book, but so far so good.
