The document reviewed several medical books, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. "The Medical Teacher" was praised for its practical approach and clear layout but criticized for limited aims. "Pulmonary Masses, Cysts, and Cavities" was valued for its clear text and illustrations, despite its cost. "Concepts in External Fixation" offered detailed descriptions but required practical experience. "Establishing a Geriatric Service" emphasized community and hospital interdependence in geriatric care but needed more discussion on future trends. "Pathology of Granulomas and Neoplasms of the Nose and Paranasal Sinuses" provided comprehensive content with high-quality illustrations but lacked emphasis on differential diagnosis. Overall, the books were considered useful with some areas for improvement.
