Review: "The book takes a practical and insightful look at the subject of legal drafting. Rather than merely providing a series of precedents, the author sets out fundamental rules common to all good drafting, so that the reader will become more confident in approaching this often unnecessarily daunting subject. The book contains a wealth of practical examples and anecdotes and is illustrated throughout with cartoons."--BOOK JACKET.
