5.0 out of 5 stars One of top 3 or 4 books for home-based importers/exporte, 12 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Building an Import/Export Business (Paperback)
Written simply with practical scenarios and information. This is a the book to start with but you will find yourself referring to it often later also, years later. Import/export courses are hard to find - mostly learned from experience in the industry or by reading. We feel this is the best book on importing AND exporting avaiable in the USA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, yet practical hard to find info., 12 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Building an Import/Export Business (Paperback)
Great for the new exporter/importer. This is the age of international business. This book quickly adapted us to the lucrative import/export world's vernacular. I recommend it to larger businesses too for the examples it gives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but cursory understanding of Asia, 23 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Building an Import/Export Business (Paperback)
I liked this book. I was disappointed that it did not recommend specific strategies for specific markets. As some one engaged in export/import, for an understanding of the Asian market I was really helped by "New Asian Emperors: the Overseas Chinese, their Strategies and Competitive Advantages" by George T. Haley, CT Tan and Usha C. V. Haley. When supplemented by richer, more-area specific material like this, this book provides real insight.
