From the reviews of the Fourth Edition ...
"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 nonspecialists 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
"The ratio of information to price makes this book a wonderful bargain."-American Scientist
