I lecture Analytical Chem at Stages II , III and MSc level at a NZ University. This is the best book in Analytical Chemistry (and particular instrumental methods of analysis) I've come across. Will be replacing Skoog with it.

I am a chemistry TA and am currently being forced to use this book in an analytical class I am taking. Kellner has succeeded in putting together an utterly useless book in his "Analytical Chemistry." Skoog makes a much better instrumental textbook. In Kellner, Equations are derived and used with no definition of variables, and the same variable (with different, unknown meanings) are used in later equations as well. In the text, terms coined by Kellner are used, but never explained. Reading Kellner only confuses the reader. To add insult to injury, there are very few example problems. Overall, I would never recommend this book to anyone for anything. Needless to say, intuitive knowledge is more useful than the text.

I'm sorry it took so long to review your product. I had to ship it off to my daughter in New Zealand. She is very happy with the text book. And I appreciate your ability in a speedy shipment to us. Thank you very much. I would recommend anyone to do business with you.

This book has a complete material about analytical chemistry and it will be extremely useful in my classes.
