Fred Myers is a professional writer and photographer that spent 10 years logging nearly 19,000 miles on the Tennessee River, the Cumberland Riven and the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. Fred's 3 CruiseGuides contain information on locks, marinas and anchorage. Fred has personally visited every anchorage described in his books and only lists those that are safe throughout the year, big enough, deep enough, and away from the main channel and places frequented by tows.. The 6th Edition is currently available at marinas along the waterway and online.

Yep.  It's okay.  Reprint of old text; a bit dated but usable information.

The book is a inches-thick reprint from nearly a century ago, and is full of woodcuts, old poems, stories, recipes, etc.  The author did his homework; there are references to folk tales and music and methods dating  centuries back from there, with a prime focus around England (where  Bickerdyke is from).  Fortunately, it seems to have been reprinted a few  times (mine dates from the '60s), so old copies are floating around.
Why  not a five-star rating? the info is not revised or updated with the  reprints.  Personally, that just adds to the charm, but you'll have to  decide.

There should definitely be a reprint of this book!

Please note that the content of this volume has been reprinted in Don Webb's "Overthrowing the Old Gods: Aleister Crowley and the Book of the Law" (2013).

Personally, I am glad to have the original printing to satisfy my collector's itch, but if all you are interested in are the essays, consider the newer volume as it is 1) cheaper, most likely and 2) contains more than just the essays.

I bought this book when it first came out and unfortunately lost it moving to England in February 1999. I would certainly like to see it reprinted, as the only copies available since it went out of print are quite understandably very expensive. It was originally published at $2.95 and used/secondhand copies are going for $100 and up.

I thought I was buying a book with recent material because the publication date is Dec 2012.  Not so.  This is a reprinting of the 2005 book.  The book still has value, it's just not what I was expecting.

Excellent re-print of a long out-of-print book. Some of the prints within the book were somewhat dark, indicating the difficulty of re-printing an old, old book. Otherwise, it's great to have this in my library. This book is often quoted in bibliographies of  modern books of the same ilk.  Thankful for the reprint and also happy with the price!

It's here. What we've all been waiting for. The third edition of the OTPM. And it does  not disappoint.
This edition looks to be largely re-written, not just up-dated, and there are many new  contributors. There is a new section on the palliation of non-malignant disease, which I  think will be particularly useful for the majority of us who deal primarily with advanced  cancer. New chapters deal with the role of each of the allied health professionals who  make up the multidisciplinary team. There are also new chapters on the principles of  evidence-based medicine and on learning communication skills, both of which I think are  particularly welcome.
It is not possible to review each section of what is a very large textbook. Overall, it  provides good coverage of the whole field of palliative medicine. Duplication, as may  occur in any multi-authored text, has been kept to a minimum. Although it has about the  same number of pages, the use of a smaller (but very legible) font gives the impression  that this edition is considerably larger and has a lot more information than the previous  one. I have to declare that I wrote the chapter on HIV/AIDS in Adults, about which  nothing more will be said, but had nothing else to do with the production of this book.
Is it up to date? I browsed a few areas where practice has changed in the last few years  and found good coverage for selective COX-2 inhibitors, NMDA receptor antagonists  and interventional radiology, although the usefulness of low molecular weight heparins in  palliative care has not been emphasized.
Is it worth it? The book is not cheap by anybody's standards. But the answer has to be  yes because this book will remain the gold standard reference in palliative medicine for  the next few years at least. The editors are to be congratulated on the successful  completion of what is a very impressive reference. And all who work in palliative  medicine owe a debt of gratitude to Derek Doyle, who has now pioneered this book  through three editions.

Finally!!!!  New reprints!!!

Ok, for those not aware, this volume finally reprints stuff that hadn't been previously reprinted.  I first started reading Steve Canyon in the reprints being done by Kitchen Sink Press, first in magazine form then later in large format paperbacks.  But the last volume from KSP "War Games", ended with strips from April 1958.

So look forward to re-reading what I have read, and the new stuff in the later 4th or so of the volume.

And next volume will be all new reprints!!! Can;'t wait!!

This appears to be a current printing (in another country) of the Second Edition but with a different cover.

You may consider reprinting this book.  I know many people who would buy it - I bet you could sell them as hot bagels!  Marjan Trutschl

This is a very good book for pathologists, however, I wanted to inform prospective buyers that the new edition will be coming out soon.
