Editorial Review

The "March" is a useful and extensive book, in order to receive a fast overview of topics of the organic chemistry. Literature references help to find relevant, profound articles.

As a textbook, it does contain too much information, and current new up-to-date reactions are not included. But the March earned due to its topic varieties and balance, and the numerously existing key words quite the descriptor "Encyclopedia". And a good encyclopedia belongs into the bookshelf of every organic chemist!
