From the reviews:

"Macrocyclic compounds belong to the latest of the most important classes of organic reagents. Chemistry of macrocyclic compounds is being actively developed. … The book under review fully reflects these trends. … the book contains a great number of self-reviews. The book is primarily useful to specialists in the chemistry of macrocyclic compounds and in the chemistry of host-guest complexes." (I. V. Pletnev, Journal of Analytical Chemistry, Vol. 61 (8), 2006)
