Book reviews: holiday reading

As the summer progresses, many of you will be thinking about getting away and spending long hours on the beach or by the pool. What better then than taking a selection of the latest books on eye care with you? But beware, the two Bill Harvey recommends are massive tomes and you might need help getting them to the beach.

Now in his 93rd year and still practising, Borish has contributed significantly to the latest incarnation, the second edition of Borish's Clinical Refraction, the main editor being US optometrist Professor William Benjamin. Primarily a US text, it is good to see contributions from Aston émigré Mark Rosenfield and Bradford's own David Elliott.
