Exporting, Importing, and Beyond: How to "Go Global" With Your Small Business (Adams Expert Advice for Small Business)

Summary: Not a How-To Guide. Just a set of concise essays
Review: This book is written as a simple introduction which can be best described as set of essays. Here is what I think can improve in this book:

1. Real life exporting/importing example and scenarios with actual sample forms.

2. More information on importing could be useful (Just one chapter on importing!!)

Over all if you hold a management position where you have people doing all paper work for you and you just want a quick overview - it could be a useful book. If you are an entrepreneur looking to do most of the things yourself don't bother buying this book. (Its exactly opposit to what the title of this book says)

Any small business or manager planning to "go global" will find useful guidelines, hints, addresses and also proven strategies in this book. It is an easy to read, easy to implement guidbook that will help you use the author's expertise & experience to avoid common mistakes. I highly recommend it for anyone planning to export/import. It is significantly better than other general introduction books and complements more specialized exporting books rather nicely.

Summary: A Very Comprehensive Book about Import / Export
Review: This one of the most comprehensive books about import / export, but it comes only in a pocket book size. It covers from A-to-Z of the import / export procedures, including other related issues like Financing, Distribution and U.S. Customs requirments. It also details role & responsibilities of each party involved. This book focuses primarily on the U.S., but it is also good for importer / exporter in other countries. Highly recommended. It is not only excellent for students or new comers in the import / export areana, but it is also a good desk reference guide.
