Review :
"...a very important book of its kind...this is certainly one of the most impressive for the number and quality of its illustrations and the clarity of its text." Digestive and Liver Disease

"This is an excellent endoscopy textbook that describes the role of endoscopy in clinical gastroenterology while keeping in perspective the essentials of patient management. Every GI program and every endoscopy suite will benefit from having a copy of this book in their library. Reading this book during training will provide GI fellows a solid grounding in the art and science of endoscopy. Having this book (with the DVD) for a quick reference on every practising gastroenerologist office table will be extremly valuable in the management of a complex case. If time permits, reading this book from cover to cover is certainly a worhtwhile experience." -- Practical Gastroenterology, January 2006
