Summary: comprehensive, but starting to become outdated already
Comment: This is a valuable book to have in any mass spectrometry laboratory. The texts are well-compiled and edited. Especially for people who are just moving into the field of mass spec, as many proteomics people and biologists are these days, this is a useful book. The problem with technology these days is that it moves at a frightening pace and that the literature has a very hard time keeping up with the latest advancements. This is especially true in the area of biosciences and the instrumentation in use there. This volume was put together in 1990, and since then many new developments have revolutionized the use of mass spectrometry especially for biological and medical research, and those of course are missing here. Having said that: what this volume offers instead is a good coverage of many, many very valuable basics that every mass spectrometrist should be familiar with. The chapters are written by the best in the field, and the referncing is thorough and extensive. Like in all volumes of "Methods in Enzymology" figures are on the sparse side and the overall layout is a bit old-fashioned. With some trade-offs an overall valuable book that hopefully will go into an updated edition soon.
