Editorial Reviews

Review
"...the book remains tremendous value for money...more pages per buck than most other texts...so it will remain a firm favourite as a general organic text and an easy-to-use 1-volume reference...will undoubtedly appear in all organic chemistry libraries and probably on many chemists' personal bookshelves too." (Organic Process Research & Development Journal, Vol. 5, No. 6, November 2001)

Reviews from the previous edition:

"This fourth edition of a popular book first published in 1968 is welcome indeed. I suspect that I am not alone in keeping a copy near my desk, so that when I develop a sudden interest in some topic, I can obtain a summary of nearly current knowledge and a list of reading references immediately. The information of ratio to price makes this book a wonderful bargain." --American Scientist

"March has been uncompromising in his search for clarity and utility in presentations of a wide variety of essential organic chemistry. It remains an accessible and useful tool for both specialists and non-specialists in the field. It does an excellent job both as a text for first-year graduate students and a handy reference for others." --Journal of Chemical Education
