This book contains plenty of high quality endoscopic photos, however, you can see those photos everywhere on the internet for free. Paying a high premium for this book, I was hoping to get a more detailed discussion. The lack of annotations and details in this book is striking. Authors provide scattered histological pictures with a small footnote. They don't highlight the changes in the photo itself. Overall, it is a beautiful book, but lacking major teaching details. I would recommend Yamada's Atlas of Gastroenterology over this book.

I'm a first year GI Fellow and this book is exactly what I was looking for. It has hundreds of high quality photos that illustrate all endoscopic features. I wasn't looking for heavy details and lots of text, there's plenty of medical literature to read that has all the heavy details I'm looking for, but I was looking for tons of high quality color endoscopy photos to refer to while I read through medical literature and to help me as I train in endoscopy, and this book accomplishes that task. If you are looking for an atlas full of high quality endoscopy images, then this book is the book to refer to.
