4 1/2: Excellent Introduction!

Dr. Stephen Astor is a Californian allergist who has taught at both Stanford University and the University of California. This is a clear and informative book about the nature and treament of allergies (as well as allergen-related asthma). Though brief (201 pages with Appendices on medications and on other allergy books), it covers the basic treatments and lets the potential patient know that options are available: "By understanding both sides of the different claims made about allergy treatment, you can determine for yourself whether a new finding, drug, machine, or injection is new for you."Astor's presentation of study results is always clear, and he makes a potentially tedious topic interesting by debunking common allergy myths, and summarizing major points through "hints." I hope that there will be a new edition (this third edition was published in 1992) when there is sufficient new information on allergies and their treatment.
