Customer Reviews

A very good read.

The book is well written, very interesting, and easy for a lay person to understand. If you like to read medical history books and don't remember or know about the achievements of Joseph Goldberger, then you should read this book. The book would be a good Christmas or birthday present.

Very quick service
