Although six years old, this book still lives up to its title and should be in all collections. It is concise, to the point, and covers all the issues related to allergy.

This review is from: The Best Guide to Allergy (Paperback)

A well written, easy to read guide for those seeking a broad overview on allergies. Some of the information is out dated, but the basic info is current. As a nurse entering into a new field of practice, this was a good go to for basic info. It is written for the patient, but I found it very helpful in assisting me to get adjusted to this new field of practice.
