“… The book covers broadly all aspects of phage-display technology and will be highly appreciated by those working with this technique and interested in applications. … The book is a clear invitation to use the phage-display technique both in biotechnology and drug discovery; … this is a very comprehensive book demonstrating the versatility and the value of phage display in many applications. It is clearly written giving an interesting historical background to many presently used variations on the phage-display technique.” —Wim Quax, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, The Netherlands, in ChemBioChem, Vol. 7, No. 699 - 703
