Reviews
A beloved travel must-have for the intrepid wanderer." -Publishers Weekly
A truly excellent and comprehensive resource." -Journal of Hospital Infection
This is a very well-written book that provides a great explanation of the core principles of travel medicine. This [2020] edition includes updated recommendations on some of the vaccines, such as the yellow fever vaccine. An understanding of the concepts in this book serves the needs of clinicians who aim to conquer the outbreaks of infectious diseases associated with travel. (Weighted Numerical Score: 100 - 5 Stars!) * Manasa Velagapudi, Doodys *
This is the gold-standard in the field of travel medicine due to its enormous scope, expertise, and ease of use. * Kenneth Schaefle, MD, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Doody's Book Review *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
