Great Book!:
Great, succinct review of infectious diseases! Applicable for public health as well as clinical infectious disease practice!
Good book:
Exactly what I wanted and in perfect shape. The order came to my home soon after I ordered it!
Good book and information, but...:
This is a good book with a hole lot of information, but it small and that means small letters but it is a hard cover so, over all its a good buy.
Excellent Source Book:
I have multiple books on infectious disease which cover the topic in great detail. These books are very useful when intricate detail is needed.However, the "Control of Communicable Diseases Manual" is a book that in its concise format is extremely valuable when you need to get a quick, yet comprehensive overview of a particular disease. I highly recommend this volume.
