✦ Synopsis
grossed in leafing through its pages. And although I can not profess to having read this index in its entirety, I can give you a pretty good idea of its content. This is a collection of references-listed alphabetically by author and by subject-of most if not all of the material about plastic surgery that was published from 1864 to 1920. Rather than going through 56 years of Index Medicus, one may find all of the information in one place. This is a fascinating history for anyone who is curious about the roots of many plastic surgery procedures, but its entertainment value is probably not worth the expense. However, this book is a necessity for anyone who is currently writing in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. The technical aspects of the book are well done and it is quite readable.
