This latest addition to the Oxford Handbook range is a truly magic little book. It is clinically orientated (divided into preoperative and
perioperative sections), contains a comprehensive drug formulary, plus detailed and useful chapters on Paediatric and Obstetric anaesthesia. The
scope is broadly aimed at senior trainees, but I have found the book to be extremely useful myself for 'checking' block techniques, rare syndromes and before teaching sessions. Overall it is a must for all anaesthetists and great value for money.
