TLDR The first book is highly recommended for facial surgery education, the second book is useful despite its limited focus, and the third book is not user-friendly due to dense text and poor images.
The document reviews three different books related to otolaryngology and facial surgery. The first book, "Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation," is praised for its content and presentation, including high-quality photographs and illustrations. It covers various aspects of facial rejuvenation and includes DVDs with procedural clips, which the reviewer, Simon Watts, recommends as an integral part of facial plastic surgery education. The second book, "Atlas of Head and Neck Imaging," after an initial misunderstanding due to its focus on specific areas excluding the temporal bone, paranasal sinuses, or orbits, is commended for its comprehensive review of imaging relevant to certain medical specialties. The reviewer, Liam Flood, recommends it despite its narrow scope. The third book, "Essentials of Otolaryngology," is critiqued for its dense text layout and poor quality of some black and white photographs. The reviewer, Richard Fraser Scott, feels that the book tries to cover too much for a pocket manual and is not user-friendly.
