Good Book, bad quality control on printing

The book adresses to everything I expected. The problem was, it came demaged on the cover and first 20 pages. It did not seem that anything happened in the transport, rather than it was badly printed (the cover and pages were cut by the press, I believe.

Easy to read, but detailed enough for intermediate
This is a good intro to drafting contracts. Well organized chapters for the beginner and plenty of examples of right and wrong ways to write. Teaches "PLain English" contract writing, and avoids "Legalease". Has enough detail to make it interesting for someone familiar with writing contracts. I like the book, and used it in a paralegal course.

From a Student
The book is organized well. The sections are clear and it is broken down into manageable chunks for the novice contract drafter. However, it is a bit dry to read. I understand that some of this is the nature of drafting a contract, but I do have to work hard to not fall asleep reading it on some days!

Top Quality
Top quality (which is impressive considering this is a soft cover) and it arrived in plenty of time for class.

A Good Introduction to Drafting Contracts

Darned good book
I must have read this book three times. It is as billed: a very good general review of contract law, and a very clear overview of the CISG. As such, it is great for students who have studied contracts but not the CISG.
The book is around 150 pages long. It has a quite helpful CISG index, relating the various CISG provisions to the pages of the book where they are explicated. It also contains the text of the CISG for easy reference.
The author is not an American and his text helps highlight certain differences between American and CISG law, especially in regard to force majeure, and therefore a close reading is most instructive to American lawyers. As these types of hornbooks go, this one is pretty darn good. ... Read more
