5.0 out of 5 stars Best help for international business law practitioners, August 7, 2001

By	Juan L. Fuentes (Guatemala, Guatemala) - See all my reviews

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this book like the plague!, January 29, 2007

By	J. Robinson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: International Business Law (4th Edition) (Hardcover)

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.
