Review :
A quick glance told me that this was a book I wanted to read. It fills an important gap. Taken leisurely, focusing on sections, it really is very good.
BMJ

This excellent book is truly an essential library purchase.
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry

...very user-friendly. The changes in this new edition reflect the great leaps in our knowledge and in public awareness of the disorders. The editors have achieved their aim of producing a textbook that is comprehensive, current and accessible to researchers, clinicians and allied professional groups.
British Journal of Psychiatry

This is the book that has everything - 70 chapters, 133 contributors, even a built in review. It is remarkably easy to read and everybody who works with people with dementia will learn something new by consulting its pages. This is an indispensable all round text of value to all health professionals and academics working with elderly people.
Ageing and Mental Health

This book covers dementia in greater depth and breadth than any other work on the subject.
The New England Journal of Medicine

Overall, this is a super book and many people will want to own it, not just have it available in a library.
