Review
Review of the hardback: 'The production standards of the book are extremely high. This enhances the pleasure in reading the book ... Anyone who has an interest in elemental or molecular abundance measurements anywhere in the Universe should have this volume on their bookshelf. I suspect that the shelf-life of this book will be significantly longer than that of most other conference proceedings.' The Observatory
