Summary: For the experienced reader
Comment: The book is treating a new subject with few firmly established definitions and methods. The authors, who are describing their own work only, therefore become to subjective about the success of their method. This does not belong in a textbook, and the book should therefore considered merely as a compilation of personal comments/reviews. There are also too many repetitions of e.g. definitions, which sometimes are differing from chapter to chapter. In my opinion the book is more suited for readers who have some knowledge of the field beforehand, however, in that case the book is an excellent compilation of different methods and ideas.

Summary: An excellent book
Comment: This was easy to read and really focussed on the organic chemistry aspects of combinatorial chemistry. I liked it MUCH better than the previous reviewer.

Summary: A messy affair...
Comment: This book explores the subject of combinatorial chemistry especially on organic applications. The book is devided in 12 chapters written by a total of 26 prominent chemists but this makes the book a messy affair because there is a lot of repetitions of definitions etc. All in all, I would not recommend this book neither for newcomers nor skilled chemists.
