J'ai bien reçu ce bouquin d'occasion, l'emballage n'etait pas si adéquat pour un courrier international, mais de toute façon il est bien arrivé, sans aucun dégât. Il s'agit d'un classique qu'il faut avoir dans la bibliothèque d'un plasticien! Thank you.

[from the book of the contents]

".....
The need, therefore, for such an atlas of muscle and musculocutaneous flaps is immediate and obvious.
The vascular anatomy of muscle is basically the key to knowledge of blood supply to the skin.
Armed with this information, the trained surgeon can undertake flap transposition with an enhanced degree of safety and reliability.
The book, however, is a guide, and each surgeon interested in the field should use the book as it is intended....

....and by using THIS BOOK AS A GUIDE THE SURGEON CAN PROCEED TO BECOME COMPLETELY FAMILIAR with the technique and its limitations before entering the operating room...."
[from the book of the foreword by Maurice J. Jurkiewicz, M.D., Professor of Surgery and Chief, Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia]
