2.0 out of 5 stars
A Hodgepodge of Useful Information, March 15, 2001
This review is from: Caffeine Fact & Fallacy: Effects and Uses as a Medicine, Food and Beverage Ingredient and as a Flavoring Agent. A Pocket Guide for Clinicians, Researchers and Consumer Education. (Paperback)
This is a good collection of caffeine-related medical studies, with good technical detail. There's not a lot to it, however -- only 80 pages (not 110 as the description states), and more than a quarter of those pages are taken up by source lists and the index. There's a fair amount of repetition as well. The most noticeable problem, though, is that every other page is blank. No content is missing, but the text is only printed on one side of each sheet of paper, and the other side is blank. I'm at a complete loss to figure out why anyone would do this; I don't think I've ever seen it done before.
The information in this book would probably make a very good FAQ file somewhere, but it's not worth $18.95 (especially since the book itself says $16.00 on the cover).
