"There is an incredible amount of information in this book. As the title indicates, it is essentially five books in one, but there is much beyond the five that has been the foundation of this book.Over the years this book has progressively increased in information and utility. It has moved with the changes in medicine, such as adding the ICD-10 codes, and as of this year, includes an extremely well presented electronic version. This is an incredibly useful addition to a busy clinician's smartphone in either format."-Vincent F Carr, DO, MSA, FACC, FACP(Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences) Doody Review: 5 stars
"I think for what you get, it is relatively modestly priced and I don’t think you need to get the new version when it appears next year. Most impressively if you spot an error or want something changed then the editor Fred Ferri has kindly published his e mail address in the preface.
