Lieser’s short review of Kommentar zu den tschechoslowakischen Devisenvorschriften evaluates the handbook through its capacity to remain current and usable. Comparing its arrangement with Heinrich Troeger’s Import und Export, she highlights its screw-fastened binding: a practical format allowing additions without replacing the volume. Two supplements had already appeared.
Die Devisengesetzgebung ändert sich auch in der Tschechoslowakei rasch.
English translation: Foreign-exchange legislation is also changing rapidly in Czechoslovakia.
For Lieser, continual supplementation protects the handbook against obsolescence. She then moves from currency to accessibility: careful arrangement, suitable headings, and a subject index make legislation and National Bank directives easy to locate.
Ein Kommentar bringt sie dem Verständnis näher, so daß es auch dem Ausländer erleichtert wird, sich in den Vorschriften zurechtzufinden.
English translation: A commentary makes them easier to understand, so that even foreigners can more readily find their way through the regulations.
The review’s affirmative judgment rests on this combination of updateability, retrieval, and explanation. Its relevance lies in identifying the practical conditions under which a legal reference work can guide readers through rapidly changing exchange controls.
