Companion to Clinical Neurology 2nd Edition

It is rare to find a reference book that you would use every day; it is more rare to find a reference book that you have a hard time putting down. Companion to Clinical Neurology is just such a book . . . This book is easily worth ten times the price. A personal library would be woefully incomplete without this ‘companion.’ (Neurology)

…a wonderful source of information that is presented in an easy, graceful manner. This will make the book appealing to both clinicians and scientists, to neurologists and non-neurologists, to professional and the general public. Indeed, the book is not only informative but great fun to read, and will be a source of much enjoyment. This is a true work of scholarship with an individuality and richness of its own. The entries are written with charm, elegance, authority, and, at times, a certain irony that ensure that the entries are entertaining as well as informative. This is a book to which one will turn again and again, either for information or simply to wile away the hours on a rainy afternoon, reading about enchanting syndromes or some new twist or previously overlooked fact concerning a more mundane topic. This book will indeed live up to its name, and as a ‘companion’ it will delight all who choose to dip into it. (Muscle and Nerve)

. . . will continue to be of enormous value for many years to come . . . not only easy to use, but a real pleasure to consult. In fact, I find browsing in it most enjoyable and rewarding. It is a completely up-to-date, unequalled resource for both the academic and practicing neurologist. It will soon prove to be the most frequently consulted volume in the office, home, or professional library. It is also a real bargain . . . Professor Pryse-Phillips is to be congratulated for once again having produced this extraordinary piece of work which actually outshines its first edition. I suggest it might appropriately be referred to as Encyclopedia Neurologica. (Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery)

From a review of the First Edition:

Containing over 15,000 alphabetical entries and 5,000 references, it is a quite extraordinary work of scholarship and erudition. (British Medical Journal)
