The aim of editor Bailey (U. of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston), his editorial team, and the long list of contributing authors has been to create and refine a reference that is also a "learning system" for the specialty—something more than a textbook—that shapes essential information into consistent and balanced chapters supported by summary tables, clear illustrations, and chapter summaries. The two volumes comprise 191 chapters arranged in sections on basic science, pediatric otolaryngology, new frontiers, head and neck surgery, otology, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, and miscellaneous topics (medical ethics rounds, eponyms in otolaryngology). These volumes are an excellent compilation of the literature available in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery today. I can find no major flaws. I congratulate Dr Bailey, his division and section editors, and the contributors for their achievement. This is a comprehensive textbook of head and neck surgery-otolaryngology. The editors cover the core knowledge of this specialty in two volumes of over 2000 pages. Each chapter concludes with a summary of highlights, facilitating the use of this text as a systematic learning system. A companion book also includes questions as a study guide for each chapter. This is the second edition of the book, with the first edition published in 1993. The intention is to provide a current and comprehensive text in a readable format that can be used as a learning system. The chapters are organized in a uniform manner. All chapters make use of summary tables, illustrations, and summary of highlights to promote retention and comprehension. The editors and contributors are among the most respected in their field. The audience is otolaryngologists-head and neck surgeons both in residency and in practice. This is an appropriate audience. The book will be most useful to otolaryngologists in training. The core knowledge of this specialtyis presented. Basic scientific knowledge as well as clinical and surgical medicine are comprehensively reviewed. Many chapters have been revised in this second edition and references are current. The index is thorough. The separate study guide contains questions for each chapter. The text is also published on CD-ROM, which will further facilitate its use as a quick and handy reference. This is one of the leading comprehensive textbooks in the field.
