FERRI / Ferri's Clinical Advisor 2012. Elsevier, 2012, $99.95.

Since 1999, this book has been published yearly to stay current with changes in diagnosis, clinical algorithms, treatment, laboratory tests, etc. It is intended as a clear and concise reference for physicians and allied health professionals. There is very little unnecessary text and the book is quite easy to use with a modicum of medical knowledge. The purchase of the book comes with access to an online version that is quite easily negotiated with minimal keystrokes. This is one of the better websites in electronic medical publishing. Additionally, the publisher has extended the electronic mobile media availability to smartphone use through Skyscape software. This book has the benefit of being updated yearly and, thus, has very up-to-date material. The real value is in the web-based version, as the print version is quite large. -Doody's Book Review
