strategic Applications of Named reactions in Organic synthesis by KURTI & CZAKO  
This book is nicely illustrated. The mechanisms of named reactions are depicted in colors for easy understanding by the user.This will be a very good book for the beginners in chemistry as well for the practising chemists.The industrial & academic examples choosen for the name reactions will give an indepth knowledge of the utility of the reactions. Overall I rate this book as a good companion for an organic chemist.

don't buy this version  
Absolutely excellent book!!! but make sure you spend the extra money on the hard cover. I bought the paperback and used it for a grad level total synthesis class and after two weeks the book completely fell apart. I now have a very useful stack of papers instead of a very useful book. I even emailed the publisher about it and got no response. i would try and boycott the book but it's just too good to live without. I recommend the hard cover instead.

Great reference book  
A very good compendium of organic reactions with nice color coded mechanisms. If you are in the organic chemistry field you should have this book.

very satisfied  
In my opinion this is a very interesting book both for synthetic and methodologist chemist. Tipical conditions are given and the background as well as the mechanistic discussion are fulfilled. Not just one more named reactions book. It's worth it.

Just Buy It.  
To put it shortly, if you're an organic chemistry graduate student the just go ahead and buy this book. It will be the most used book in your personal library. Also, if you are an undergraduate working in a research lab buy it as well. You'll have a huge jump on the other graduate students when you go to grad school having been familiar with this book.
