It exudes excellence. It is a relatively small paperback but chunky book and runs to just over 650 pages and is a modest size. But, it sure packs a punch and is a superb review of colorectal surgery. As the title suggests, it is aimed squarely at specialists, but it is important that this book gains a wider audience. Specialist teams in gastroenterology would enjoy reading this fact packed book full of knowledge, experience, and wisdom. Even primary care practitioners would find this book, a treasure book packed full of useful and relevant information. Dr Harry Brown, Glycosmedia
