Editorial Reviews

Review

`of exceptionally high quality ... The layout is very clear and they waste no time getting to the point ... The Oxford Textbook of Medicine has long been a favourite among European family doctors and the new 3rd edition is likely to be equally popular ... this book would earn its keep both as a reference source and for regular reading.' Family Practice, 1996
