?This single-volume bound work, by a Boston practitioner, sets out a detailed and interesting historical back-drop of the development of the law of parallel importation. For practitioners who are used to focusing on a specific point in a treatise, or reading a few cases on a certain point, this work is very thought-provoking in that it allows one to think not only about where we are, but how we got here. This work would also be useful as a supplemental text for an advanced course in trademark law.?-The Trademark Report
