Revue de presse

'This is naturally a major resource for the speech and language therapy practitioner, but there is much there for the general otolaryngologist, and even more for the laryngologist and head and neck surgeon. At that price, it is well worth adding to any ENT department library, and its value to speech and language therapy is self-evident.' --The Journal of Laryngology & Otology
