Starting with the 2008 edition, the book will benefit non-U.S. practitioners considerably. Sinnott is including a new introduction that guides non-U.S. lawyers in using the book to the benefit of their U.S. and non-U.S. clients. For example, an attorney in London with a U.S. corporate client may wish to learn the procedure for authenticating a document at China's U.S. embassy so as to protect a trademark within China's borders. This example represents only one of the many uses for A Practical Guide to Document Authentication 2008 overseas.
