    "The work is substantial (328 pages of commentary) yet very manageable (approximately one hundred pages of appendices containing the applicable texts). It also has the merit of being very comprehensive. Generalists will find commentary on all the provisions of the instruments studied: conventions, protocols, joint declarations, etc. When a treaty provision has been subject to judicial interpretation, whether national or Community-level, this interpretation will be indicated and explained. It hardly needs to be emphasized that all the judgments rendered by the Court of Justice of the European Communities interpreting the Brussels Convention before September 1, 1993, are included throughout the book. Specialists will also find it of interest." Unlike purely documentary works that merely paraphrase the text of the treaty or the reasoning of the judgments of the European Court of Justice, Ms. Gaudemet-Tallon's book is a focused commentary, a synthetic reflection of the numerous articles and notes she has devoted to the Brussels Convention. The author does not simply explain the meaning of the text or the interpretative judgment; she explains why the solution is sound or why it should be criticized. Admittedly, the brevity of the text necessitates shorter explanations, but this is compensated for by an extensive and highly intelligent use of footnotes. When he was a delegate to the Hague Conference, Goldman, questioned about his working methods, confided that he did not keep a file: “My file,” he explained, “is the ‘Batiffol’; if you know how to use it, you can find everything.” The same will soon be true of Ms. Gaudemet-Tallon's work. Whenever one begins to regret the conciseness of the text, a footnote allows one to rebound and opens access to the desired development. (Georges A. L. Droz, International Review of Comparative Law, No. 1/1995, p. 271 et seq.).
