"A book to be had for the GI registrar enough to easily function and look smart at the RITA but not enough to stun the professorial ward round. Good images and text that make it readable into the section beyond the one you were looking up. Well-referenced but not comprehensive. Up to date in a parochial American kind of way. Better than Medscape coverage for many conditions – particularly the images – but not as good (area by area) as a comprehensive review in a big GI journal. Worth having and, having reviewed it, I may even spend my own money on the edition two on from this if it is still around." BMA Awards 2007
