At a mere four months wait for my copy, I feel lucky. ( I demand a reprint! ) It is everything James Harrington has it written out to be. Simply and utterly impressive. No finer treatment of any person of note, could be granted than at the hands of author Ernst Burger. He writes, "Liszt was rare among musicians in that he was receptive to every aspect of art..." It is readily apparent the same could be said of Burger as well. His grasp of the art and the physical world of Liszt's time, as well as a profound appreciation of the music, make this presentation truly in depth and a sheer pleasure to study.

It took Amazon.com's Out of Print service over a year to find me a copy of this fabulous out of print book. It was in perfect condition and over 30% less than the original list price. The format of this book finds the year in Liszt's life at the top of every page. At the beginning of each new year the left most column has notable events in Liszt's life while the facing page, right most column has a list of works composed. In the middle are pictures, reprints of old scores, letters, articles, programs, drawnings, etc. all cross-referenced and footnoted. Meticulous scholarship and a myriad of fascinating items make this book indispensible to anyone interested in Liszt or his times.

I have seen many books on medicinal chemistry, but this book is an outstanding publication. It covers all chemistry, pharmacology, history and approach to new drug design. It gives complete information required for a scientist.

This is the best book for medicinal chemistry.
