 Good content, exceptionally poor quality binding & printing November 22, 2008

Boericke's content is excellent, however, the quality of printing and binding of the Indian edition is exceptionally poor - pages not stitched into book, cover not glued, spine reinforcement (a recycled zipper) not glued. Huge disappointment from this publisher - don't waste your time and money with this edition.
Great, compact source. Best for beginners. December 22, 2003

I have had this for a number of years. It was the first homeopathic book I bought. My copy is slowly disintegrating from hard use and its weak Indian binding.
This is the best (and was the first) single-volume reference for beginning homeopaths and home practitioners. It includes both a repertory and materia medica, plus relationships of remedies and other reference material. More advanced prescribers will want something more extensive, but nothing beats this for compactness.
It does have its drawbacks: it uses turn-of-the-century medical language (get Yasgur's homeopathic dictionary), it does not include new remedies, and it is of limited depth.
By the way, it includes nothing about HOW TO USE IT, so get another book on prescribing (can't remember a good title).
 Amazon is selling the Indian edition February 14, 2002

This is a great book and indispensable for the lay and professional practitioner alike. Note that Amazon is selling the Indian edition. The American edition has better binding, clearer print, is not as thick and costs more--a forewarning to those of you who expect the Amer. version, which is most common in health stores. Nonetheless, a great reference.

Great reference book. Not quite as complete as Kent's Repertory, but it does have a Materia Medica, which Kent's does not. One of the books I always refer to. Has interesting section of Indian remedies, not normally seen. Pretty good index.
Essential for anyone serious about Homeopathy December 10, 2000

An excellent complete reference book. Materia Medica section lists symptoms by body part including respiratory, circulatory, mind and sleep descriptions. Corresponding Repretory is divided into physical sections, including genralities, and modalities. This is the first and foremost book I reach for when researching any case. Easy to use and well organized, unlike many of the other classic and contempoary manuals on homeopathy. This is my homeopathy bible!
