From the reviews:

"This plentiful and proliferous volume deals with progress in basic research on the molecular biology of adenoviruses. The material is presented in 3 major divisions ... . A book of this size has been carefully edited ... . In summary this is a valuable volume for the advanced molecular virologist." (Hans J. Eggers, IJMM - International Journal of Medical Microbiology, Vol. 293 (7-8), 2004)
