From the reviews: "The book summarizes many results which describe various aspects of the structure of topological vector spaces ... . Most of the chosen material is relatively recent and appears in book form for the first time. ... Together with a rich list of references the book can help in finding and understanding many finer questions concerning various aspects of the structure of subclasses of the class of topological vector spaces." (Petr Holicky, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1231, 2012) "The authors collect a large amount of material displaying connections between general topology and functional analysis with regard to properties of infinite-dimensional topological vector spaces. ... It is a fine piece of scholarship with well-organized, readable proofs. ... It is an encyclopedia of a subject meant for researchers and advanced graduate students likely interested in research for an advanced degree, and/or adding more knowledge to a course in which they are enrolled."
