From the reviews:
“This is a highly specialized book dealing with myeloma bone disease. … The book, authoritative as it is, is likely to be of interest to … physicians and scientists with a specific interest in myeloma. … No other book has dealt with the subject of myeloma bone disease in as much depth and, therefore, this one is unique.” (Seema Singhal, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2011)()
