"... This book is well organized, accurate ... Helmut Schenkel-Brunner is to be congratulated on compiling and presenting the information in a clear and consice manner ... "Human blood groups: chemical and biochemical basis of antigen specificity" is a useful reference book for the shelf of those interested in understanding the biochemical and genetical aspects of blood group antigens."
