schestowitz"This sounds more like a publisher's promotional piece than an actual review. I now know exactly what is in the book (which information I could presumably mostly find in the table of contents), but is it any good? Has the reviewer actually read the book? Do they have any opinions on it?"Dec 22 02:55

schestowitzThanks for your anonymous comment, yes of course I actually read the book, that is how I Was able to explain the contents in great detail, providing quotes and comments. However, this book is - as explained in my review - primarily a reference tool or guide for practitioners - which means that it mostly sets out the law rather than making arguments, as such the opportunity to form opinions is limited. My opinion is - as stated - that this isDec 22 02:56
schestowitza comprehensive guide that would be helpful particularly to lawyers as well as researchers and that it is written in an easily accessible way, with helpful headings to make it easier for lawyers in a hurry to navigate and take what they need from it.Dec 22 02:56

schestowitzLots of clickbait from them though, same from FUDZilla (overlap in staff!).Dec 22 17:48

schestowitzIf I get a couple more donations (trust me, it's laughable so far), I'll put time into setting something up other than PP.Dec 22 19:18
