Loose-leaf works
Drafting Agreements in the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industries (Oxford University Press, 2009)
Review 1: [The book's] multi-jurisdictional approach ...will be invaluable in explaining to those with a common law background the various sensitivities on the part of practitioners and contracting parties who are based in those other jurisdictions. ...One can have every confidence in the drafting, edited as the book is by Mark Anderson... This is a book that can thoroughly be recommended for anyone who is drafting or negotiating agreements in Europe in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. (Trevor Cook, IP partner, Bird & Bird)
Review 2: Drafting Agreements in the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industries is a "must-have" reference for life science lawyers and Business Development executives. The short but insightful commentary to each sample form agreement provides the essential context, while the footnote annotations to the clauses of each form drill down for a more focused commentary. Although initially prepared for use in the European market, American readers will benefit greatly from this important compilation. (Brian D. Beglin, Head of Life Sciences Group, Bingham McCutchen LLP, USA)

A-Z Guide to Boilerplate and Commercial Clauses (2nd edn, Tottel 2006)
Review: An extremely useful reference work, the book will be of great benefit to in-house counsel drafting commercial contracts (the In-House Lawyer)....a useful addition to the practitioner's library. Anderson's book is to be welcomed (Legal Week). ‘The work’s strength lies in two main features. First, from the point of view of English law (for that is its base) it provides guidance by reference to numerous cases (some of which might well have been overlooked) for the purposes of assisting someone to draft a contract effectively. Secondly, it provides “worked examples”… [The book] is very useful and I hope that it will reach a wider audience.’ (His Honour Humphrey Lloyd QC, The International Construction Law Review). Well done Mark and Victor (IP Kat).

Drafting and Negotiating Commercial Contracts (2nd edn, Tottel 2007)
Review: The second edition of Drafting and Negotiating Commercial Contracts is extremely welcome... It is one of the best, if not the best, texts on the principles of commercial drafting... The material is extremely well written and accessible. (Student Law Journal).

Drafting Confidentiality Agreements (2nd edn, Law Society Publishing 2004)
Review: An excellent and practical guide (the Practical Lawyer). The fact that the second edition has emerged a year after the first suggests it has been enthusiastically welcomed by the profession. That is hardly surprising; it is such a wonderful tool-kit. The excellent precedents in the book are also attached in a CD-ROM (Solicitors Journal, 23 September 2005).

Execution of Documents (2nd edn, Law Society Publishing 2008)
Review: This is, for a highly technical law book, a riveting read. Keep it on your shelves and you'll be confident that you will have the answer to most issues about how to make a legal document work (New Law Journal).

Modern Law of Patents (chapter on transactions) (LexisNexis 2005)
Review: The Modern Law of Patents is certainly comprehensive and yet its analysis, which is detailed enough to satisfy the requirements of IP practitioners, is also readable and accessible, even for non-specialists (European Intellectual Property Review).

Kelly's Draftsman (sections on commercial transactions) (19th edn, LexisNexis 2007)
Review: This latest version of what still remains a practitioner's bible sees a few stylistic changes: the contents are now arranged under four broad heads - general, private client, commercial and not for profit - and there is some tidying-up and amalgamation of chapters (Journal of the Commonwealth Lawyers Association).
