PSGB Book Reviews

Primate Eye has published regular book reviews for many years. The more recent ones have now been put on our web site. Each review also contains a link to the online catalogue at www.amazon.co.uk which means that you can buy the books online. Amazon does pay PSGB a small fee for every book bought this way so obviously we ould like to encourage you to do so! The prices quoted are the publishers prices when the review was written. Amazon often sell these books at a discount and in some cases paperback versions have been produced since the review was written. It is always worth following the "Buy the book" link to see what the actual price is.

Remember, if you would like PSGB to review a book in Primate Eye please contact the Book Review Editor email: bookreviews@psgb.org.
