 Rating: - Contracts for the rest of us...This is a good overview of topics that should be included in a contract. For those of us with out legal training that need to write and review contracts... this is a good start! Rating:  - At last, a book on international sales for everyone.I've been looking for this book for years. I consult and train on international purchasing, and I really like this book.

As a law student, I've found the Mrs.Shippey's book a valious tool for my essay, which is necessary to graduation title. Rating:  - RubbishShippey's books provides a fine summary of issues that one faces when drafting international contracts. However, her contract models are not practical and thorough. If you try to use this book to write your own contracts, you will get screwed. Rating: - Excellent briefing on how to write an export sales contract.Our consulting staff has reviewed this book and feel that it is an outstanding presentation of the complexities involved in writing international sales and marketing contracts. Our staff refers to it often when they are drafting export sales amd marketing agreements for clients. We recommend that exporters read this book BEFORE they discuss an export sales or marketing agreement with an attorney. It could save them a great deal of money! John R. Jagoe, Director, Export Institute.
