An excellent guide to negotiating
This is an excellent book. The author has done a great job in pulling together the elements which spell success in the quest for employment. I recommend it.Wayne D. Ford, Ph.D., author of "The Accelerated Job Search" docwifford@msn.com

Outstanding! Invaluable for negotiating contracts!
Of several books I've purchased on the subject, this is by far the best for executives or superstars negotiating contracts with options, bonuses, etc. The author is engaging and very informative, and topics are presented from the employee's perspective.The book discusses typical contracts (as if any of these deals are "typical") and how to initiate negotiations, followed by chapters detailing each area of the contract - complete with pro's and con's for options in each subject.
Many real-world examples are presented, covering agreements between numerous named parties. Several full-text contracts are also included, and many more are dissected to illustrate key points. (Eisner's mega-deal with Disney is an excellent reference on the subject, and as such it's covered here appropriately.)
Despite being a 1997 edition, the content is very valuable. Position on options and other market-based compensation seem a little dated, but are probably still accurate. An accompanying website would also be nice to facilitate re-use of the contract texts presented.
Overall, this book is easily worth the money and the read!
