I bought this book as my first "big" respiratory medicine textbook and I have to say it's very well done! The content is pretty up to date, it's simple and practical, easy to read. The images are amazing and they come in PDF on a companion CD free with the book... perfect for PowerPoint presentations. It's not absolutely complete... but no pulmonary textbook is!
