addition to the general practitioner's library"

The Veterinary Record

"This book is far better than the first, both in style and in
content. There are longer, more comprehensive books, and there are
certainly more expensive books, but there are none that provide
such essential information for the sheep practitioner in such a
concise and easy-to-use format. If you want help with a diagnosis,
this book should be the first one to pick up.
