    —Dr. Alan Freyer, Smithkline Beecham

    … an exceptionally well-done compendium that will be often used and save many hours in the library; it should be given top priority for purchase.
    —M.E. Kuehne, University of Vermont

    Praise for the Dictionary of Organic Compounds:
    … excellent … the new volumes are more useful than ever to chemists, and they are sure to play a unique role in helping researchers …
    —E.J. Corey, Harvard University

    …should be a fixture in the main library of most colleges and industrial companies with chemical research groups.
