This book did not offer what I was looking for. Mostly, it is a mass spectra interpretation guide but not a practical guide on Gas Chromatography or Mass Spectrometry. Persons wanting to buy this book need to know that there are no references to the troubleshooting of the instrumet. This book is just a reference for interpretation of mass spectra not for analytical work.

This book is by far my number one reference book for intitial interpretation of EI data. If you are looking for a book that will help you with chromatography conditions and subsequent interpretation of EI data based on the various classes of compounds, then get this book. I don't think you will be disappointed. If you are looking for a book that delves into instrument theory and trouble shooting, then you will be very disappointed. As the title says this is a "practical guide".

This is by far the best GC-MS reference book on my bookshelf, and for every job I done on GC-MS to identify unknown compounds, I always can find something useful from the book, especially when the computer-aided MS spectra library search gives you unsure identification.
