Review # 1 was written on 2009-06-25 00:00:00 Carlos Ascanio For my MA in Publishing, the book was absolutely essential. It covers every minute detail of publishing law, in a relatively clear fashion, using simple language. It covers everything from contract law, outlining the main points to any contract, explaining terms such as boilerplate clauses, to all the copyright directives which have been put into place, to court-related topics such as infringement of copyright, what is a tort and what isn't, and so on. Besides being useful for students of publishing law, this text offers advice to those involved in publishing, from simple everyday things like contracts, to worst-case scenarios such as how to sue somebody. Of course, the topic is dull. But the authors do their best to make the subject easy to learn, and it must have worked: I got a first on my law exam! |
Review # 2 was written on 2019-12-02 00:00:00 Caroline Dey Not exactly what I expected. Too much focus on grammarians and on idle things (a whole section just to talk about the first users of the OED, really?) that do not relate to language itself during the Late Modern English period. Some insights on lexis and/or semantics would be appropriate for this work, as anything related to that was quite vague and superficial. For some general info on this matters its okay. |
