Extremely well-written and even throughout, this text is both accessible and detailed. It's not often I actually enjoy reading a textbook, and frankly I've got no special interest in geriatrics over other medical fields of study, but I do enjoy reading this.
It is priced more than most of its competitors, which is disappointing because it probably limits its dissemination. Currents is less than a third of the cost of this thing! And heck, up until recently Merck's Geriatrics manual was free online at their website.
But it's definitely a quality text, there's really no denying that.
