'The book under review is, in my opinion, the best of the existing books on the theory of non-Archimedean locally convex spaces. It contains most of the known results which are published in the area. The book is self-contained and only basic knowledge of linear algebra, analysis and topology are needed to read it. It could be used by graduate students as well as by researchers in mathematical analysis and in other areas.' Mathematical Reviews
