"The last sentence by editor Caron is an appropriateconclusion: "Building each chapter ... served as anexcellent chemistry refresher course for the authors, and welearned a lot of new chemistry in the process." Chemistseverywhere will applaud their effortsand." (Angewandte Chemie, 2012)

"The book is extremely good value, partly because it is notavailable in hardback and whilst this may please budget-holdersinitially, it also is another good reason for looking forward to asecond edition. . . Overall, apart from one or two very minorcomplaints, this book is highly recommended, in fact it should be amust for all practising synthetic organic chemists." (OrganicProcess Research & Development Journal, 2011)

"...an emphasis on practicality, scalability and efficiency... Iwould imagine this will be a popular teaching text in universitiesbut it should also be read by process chemists for an insight intogood synthetic organic chemistry and route design. It looksexcellent value for money." (Scientific Update, 2011)
