This work represents a systematic and practical analysis of the relevant rules, matter and terminology of international sales law. Written for practitioners as well as researchers and students the manual offers a comprehensive and in-depth overview of the relevant legal international and national regulations, taking into account the practice-relevant topics and the relevant soft law regulations. The international and comparative law character of the work is reflected in the consideration of such international regulations such as the CISG, the Principles of European Private Law (PECL), the Principles of International Commercial Contracts (UNIDROIT principles) and the proposal to create a common European Sales law (GEK) from the year 2011. In addition, an overview of the differences in terms of the purchase option between common law and civil law jurisdictions and between each important national right is offered.

"An indispensable and compact reference guide that provides an ideal platform for scholars, practitioners (in-house counsel, legal advisors and advocates) and students internationally. The reviewer is tempted to extend this list to include commercial parties such as the importers and exporters as the writing is clear, concise and direct, contract clauses and practitioner tips sections are provided, and finally because the book provides illustrations to which they can relate." European Review of Private Law 2017 (of the 1st edition) Almost 5 years have passed since the first edition of this popular work was published. Much relevant case law and legal literature have since been published which requires treatment.

Scholars and practitioners will find its systematic survey of the field invaluable.
