“What makes this book very special is that besides being informative, innovative and easy to consult when in a hurry, it is so very readable.Furthermore, this book has an enormous amount of attractive colour, high quality photographs, figures and schemes illustrating the pathogenesis of diseases. It has an abundance of tables and charts illustrating reference ranges, clinical signs, differential diagnoses, diagnostic algorithms, or comparison of advantages and disadvantages of various treatments. This is definitely a remarkable difference from other textbooks the majority of which feature mostly black and white and a few colour pictures.This is “The Book” for feline practitioners certainly the most interesting, innovative, clear and concise textbook on the market and the best of the 5 edited so far by Dr. August, it is one which currently has no rivals in the bookstore.”Reviewed by Professor Stefano Romagnoli (I), for EJCAP, vol 17, October 2007
