This review is from: Diseases of Poultry (Hardcover)

I cannot say that I have a book 'cause I don't have it. But working in a Centre for Poultry I had a chance to read and learn from this book. I was so impressed with the way that author of this book aproach to diseases of poultry and acctually made so easily understanding and comprehensing this important matter. I acctually started to learn the whole subject from the beginning 'cause it was the best way to get the whole picture. I attend to buy a book for myself as soon as possible so that I can read it again and again. And I know that every time I will certanly learn something more. My best regards to the author where ever he can be. Yours,

Marijana Sokolovic.
