Traditionally, boilerplate refers to the standardized, one size fits all provisions that generally appear at the end of a contract, including choice of law, notice, arbitration, force majeure and assignments.

Prudent lawyers carefully examine and tailor these provisions to meet the needs of individual transactions. Negotiating and Drafting Contract Boilerplate educates lawyers and business professionals on the underlying rationale and importance of boilerplate language. Each chapter tackles a different contractual provision, over twenty in all, and analyzes why it is important, what the key legal and business issues are, what is negotiable and what is not, and how best to draft the provision to suit a particular transaction. This best-selling book will give you a competitive edgeOCoand a new understanding and appreciation of language you've seen countless times."

This is a basic book, and it covers all the key points and provides some helpful analysis and case law. I would certainly recommend it as a nice primer and review.
I do have a couple of nits. First, I would have liked to have a bit more advanced discussion about damages limitations and indemnification, particularly some theory/discussion about justifying asymetrical risk allocation. I found the discussion there a bit too basic.
Second, it is clearly tailored for those one time M&A agreements, not necessarily every day contracts. I would have a difficult time convincing a business client that a one page Forum Selection section is justified or that we really need to cover notice in three pages.
Even so, I found the book loaded with useful insights and well worth having on the bookshelf.
