Import/Export: How to Get Started in International Trade

I thought Mr. Nelson did a wonderful job covering the myriad topics involving Importing / Exporting. He did a WONDERFUL job covering the topic of "How to Obtain Financing"! I never knew there were sooo many sources out there to help. He also did a GREAT job covering and diagramming banking processes like Bankers Acceptances. I could not believe some of the bad reviews--- did those people read the same book??!! No one person is going to be a panacia for any topic--- but Mr. Nelson comes close! Hats off to him for all the effort, research, and expereice that went into this book..........

I have bought and read the book. And I can say that this book provides great insights to the reader. I recommend it to everybody who wants to gen involved in international business.

This book is a must read for anyone who is interested in international trade, and want's to get their foot in the import/export door. Carl A. Nelso helps his readers understand the international trade business with such simplicity, using words and examples that we can all relate too. I definitely appreciate the fact that he implemented the forms and other documents that are used, he helps us relate to them more and he explains the entire process step by step using simple words.
