 Great Service
Book was delivered within specified time period and was in condition as stated on Amazon. Would definitely do business with this seller again.

 Disappointing
This book is unbelievably general, addressing topics in the most superficial manor. The book contains 324 pages; 111 of which are lists of names and addresses of banks and consultants around the world. The final 86 pages are essentially the entry requirements for travel to those countries. Only 127 pages contain sentences and paragraphs. Thirty of these pages are dedicated to berating the US government for everything under the sun, including the Iraq war. For useful information on international financial structures definitely look elsewhere.

 Authoritative treatment of a timely topic
I have recently gotten interested in this topic due to world events. I bought this book and read it in one sitting--it is knowledgable and eye-opening. At no time did I feel the author was trying to "sell" me on anything...on the contrary the book reads as if the author is an expert in the field and simply wants the word to get out. Yes, his service is listed, but then, so are hundreds of other offshore experts--carefully presented according to their expertise.
In fact a colleague of mine contacted the author for advice and claims that the company handled him well and expeditiously regarding his request and order.
Apart from that, I believe that this work may be the best, if not the only timely report on the subject. If you want to know more, I would say it is a must-read, with the only intent to correctly inform on a topic that the "powers-to-be" may wish to keep covered up. Worth a look!

Becareful with this Author
The book is basically a plug for their financial service. I spent a lot of time corresponding with them and purchased one of their offshore banking packages. I had detailed my overseas residency situation and expressed concerns about their ability to match me with my desired banking product. They assured me that there would be no problems and if there were, I would get a full refund. Six months later, I have no Swiss bank account and no refund.

The Best on the Topic, and More
I recommend this book as a fascinating read to anyone, whether or not they are interested in minimizing their tax-load legally. (And who isn't?) But while this book delivers brilliantly on that score, it is also an authoritative, entertaining manual that serves as a wake-up call on the state-of-the world these days. It treats the both the big picture and the important details of offshore, and provides excellent contacts for not just legally avoiding taxes, but also for protecting one's assets, future, and indeed, one's personal safety and sovereignty. Further, this is not only the best book on the topic by far, but it is the only current book by several years. And the author truly knows his topic. Fascinating, excellent read.
