From the reviews of the third edition: "The book under review is one of the most important references in the multiplicative number theory, as its title mentions exactly. ... Davenport's book covers most of the important topics in the theory of distribution of primes and leads the reader to serious research topics ... . is very well written. ... is useful for graduate students, researchers and for professors. It is a very good text source specially for graduate levels, but even is fruitful for undergraduates." (Mehdi Hassani, MathDL, July, 2008)
