The Cambridge handbook of copyright limitations and exceptions.

Oppenheim, Charles

Abstract

This 419-page heavyweight tome comprises 22 chapters contributed by experts, many of them very well known, together with an anonymous brief Preface. The chapters are organised into five parts, which reflect the broad themes covered. The text makes you want to read it cover to cover, rather than what we more commonly do with handbooks, which is to home in on chapters of interest. The topics covered in this collection of essays cover theoretical foundations of exceptions, international aspects, models on exceptions, workings of exceptions, and a final chapter on technology. Despite the book’s title, this not really a handbook, if one uses that term to mean a reference work providing instructions; so why not just remove the first four words of the title? The chapters vary in length from about 10 pages to about 30 pages.
