WTO Uruguay Round Legal Texts,
By
This review is from: The Legal Texts: The Results of the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations (Paperback)
The WTO Legal Texts, copublished by the WTO and Cambridge University Press, is a essential reference for anyone working on WTO issues. Although the WTO agreements are available to the public on the WTO website, as well as the worldtradelaw.net website, most scholars and practitioners will want a compact volume to carry and to underline. Cambridge U. Press has put a sturdy binding on the paperback volume. The one flaw in the volume is that it omits the plurilateral agreements, such as the Agreement on Government Procurement. It would also be helpful in a future edition to improve the usability of the Table of Contents.

The "Bible" of WTO Law,
By K G R "K G R" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Legal Texts: The Results of the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations (Paperback)
It is not without good reason that this book is referred to in WTO Law as "The Bible". This book contains all the legal text relevant to current WTO law. The short and simple truth is that if you're studying or working in any field involving WTO Law, you'll need this book. Like most government or international organization publications it could use better organizing and have better indexes, but on the whole it does its job more than adequately.

Make sure you get a copy with the index,

This review is from: The Legal Texts: The Results of the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations (Paperback)
This is the bible of international trade, as others have noted. I have a copy of the 11th printing published in 2005 but am buying a newer printing to get the index. Don't buy a copy that doesn't have an index because if you're not a legal scholar you will have a hard time tracing the issues through the trade law.
