'This is a book that those involved with competition policy and law should have on their bookshelves. . . one of the very useful features of this book will be that it provides an up-to-date comparison of the legal provisions in the United States and Europe. . . the essays that comprise The International Competition Handbook provide not only an underpinning for concepts already learned but offer new insights and greater depth of understanding.'
