"The paperback edition of the 3rd edition of Kocienski’s Protection Groups has now appeared. It is beautifully written and produced and represents fantastic value for the money. (...) The book is a joy to read yet is essentially a reference book too, assisted by its clear organisation and useful index. It is by far the best book on protection groups but is different from the other important book, by Greene and Wuts, on the same subject. You need both books, but with Kocienski’s book, now in paperback at a lower price, it can and should be on every chemist’s bookshelf as well as in the library. Highly recommended!"
