For common and some not so common scenarios, this handbook was surprisingly (maybe I should not be that surprised considering the pedigree of this book) detailed and helpful. Take for example the 2 page section, page 228 to page 229 on soft tissue and bone infections. It covered a lot of topics including good content on cellulitis (every word counts and no excess baggage here), definitions of the different types of soft infections (very useful) and signposts to other parts of the book of relevant conditions, such as the diabetic foot. I could go on and on but there is a lot of very useful information here. Crucially, it is all highly relevant to clinical practice but with less common conditions thrown in. Even better, it is highly readable and ideal to dip into a small section and quickly read up on a subject.
