From the reviews: "An up-to-date book that reminds chromatographers and analytical chemists of the quantitative possibilities of the techniques is therefore to be welcomed. ... this is a readable, well-produced and nicely illustrated volume ... and a moderately useful index of approximately 14 pages. ... highly recommended to anyone wishing to reacquaint themselves with a once-familiar technique that they have lost touch with. ... to get up to date with the potential offered by twenty-first century instrumental TLC, this is book provides a good place to start."
