Without doubt this is a detailed and most impressive textbook which is now in its 11^th edition. The first edition came out in 1973 and the original author’s imprint is still evident in this current version, as he has still contributed to it. As well as the editors, there is quite an array of contributors and all of them seem to come from North America. It is a big book spanning more than 1100 pages and to me, it seemed pretty comprehensive.

Coming from the impressive pedigree of the Oxford Handbook series, I was very much looking forward to reviewing this book. I certainly was not disappointed as it is a superb review of the subject and can be worth its weight in gold. This book is ideal for GPs and their registrars as well as paediatricians working both in the hospital and community. It is certainly more than a just a handbook as it is packed with over 1000 pages of excellent information which is accessible and easy to read, just like other members of the Oxford Handbook series. Despite the relatively small proportions of the book, it packs in a lot of topics and provides very helpful clinical information as well as covering common and not so common subject areas.
