What they say:

“…This book has to try to be all things to all people, and generally succeeds excellently, referencing other texts where appropriate, and neatly summarising the vast and ever increasing information available to the practitioner. It is perhaps a cliché to say that this book should be on every practice shelf, but it doesn’t stop it being true. If you don’t have a copy of the Manual of Exotic Pets in any form, now is the time to get one. If you have it already, it’s worth the upgrade...” Journal of Small Animal Practice
