No post 9-11 stuff, but still cool, 2005-03-19
just bought my second copy as a gift to a clientalthough there is no anti-money laundering (after 9-11) material, as the text appears to have been written right before that, it is still an international standard in comparing tax haven locations
has an extensive section for Canadian investors, which is why i like it
reading is kind of on the dull side but it isn't meant to be a mystery novel but instead offers useful information using straight talk

cool for the novice, 2003-12-27
it was worth the money for this book because I now know not to believe the hype when searching for a proper offshore location country - helps you figure out what makes a place a suitable offshore site

a useful text, 2003-09-22
This is a great book - I would give a hint to potential buyers that I have seen this rather pricey good paperback seller over at Amazon.co.uk cheaper than at Amazon.com (via Amazon Marketplace), and it appears to be internationally available. Good hunting (for the book)...and then good hunting for a tax haven!

not exciting but surely useful, 2002-04-14
I was slightly intimidated because the previous reviewer (anonymous) gave it such a scathing review (stating it was boring and useless) - but I ordered it from Amazon nevertheless since it is so highly rated and a (according to a friend) best seller on the subject. OK, so it isn't the most exciting read on the planet, but useless? Hardly! I found that when I applied the information with the other standard books on offshore that it was extremely useful as a selection tool. There is a lot of information contained in the 300 pages. I suggest that if readers seek excitement that they go see a film. If someone wants a book about choosing an offshore tax haven (even if boring), this is worth the price.

Redefines the meaning of "boring", 2002-03-27
I was the struggling not to fall asleep the whole time. Terrible, dry language. Not a single practical piece of advice. I was bored to tears.
