Reviews for Handbook of In Vitro Fertilization

This is probably the best of the books I was sent to review for 2018. I really enjoyed the well written first chapter with an important history of IVF, in real danger of being lost or forgotten in the market driven world of IVF in 2018. The detailed content of the chapters is very helpful, well referenced and terribly useful as an update to date reference book for all aspects of IVF. This feels like a very responsible book aiming at the majority of clinical teams working in assisted conception. It's text is well delivered and scripted to ensure it is readable and accessible. This should be on every clinic's shelves for ease of access to this material. This is an excellent book - good perspectives and well written - covering an useful range of clinical and research areas. I really enjoyed this. BMA Book Awards 2018, Highly Commended
