Thcsc three books arc not mutually exclusive but arc complcmcntary since the first represents 2~ short but thorough introcluction to the subject, the seconcl a detailed discussion of work publishccl up to ig55 (with particular refercncc to hydrocarbons), ancl tlic third consists of a series of papers presented at the Ig.jG London Confcrcnce on Gas Chromatography. ~?HILLIPS book (the sliortcr of the three) is suitable for ncwcomcrs to the field and for students since it clots not deal at length with any aspect of the subject, but woulcl provide a thorough grounding if carefully r-cad. KEUJJXMANS, another well known worker in the subject, gives a clctailcd description of both theoretical and espcriniental evaluations of column parameters and of solution effects. l~etnilecl description of apparatus is not provicled cscept for catharomctcr detectors. This is not surprising since at the time of writing these clctectors seemed the simplest, but since then manv of theit clefccts liavc bccomc apparent and now it scem.s that the newer ionisation monitors will replace them on the grounds of simplicity, cheapness and sensitivity. Despite this clrawbnck nil that K~uIxh~~xs has to say will repay study. The papers prescntcct in the third \wlumc fall mainly into three groups:-(i) vapour clctcctors 2~iz. cntharomctcrs, hyclrogen dare clcvices, the gas density meter and ionisation monitors;
