I received this book in a surprisiling fast way (via ordinary mail!!!). Dr. Ronchi ought greatly appreciated the service (and it was a very difficult person!!!).
Reading this book is of great interest for those how start they pathway in applied optics and optometry. Despite its age it still reamins and unavoidable classic. Absolutely don't miss it.
