Excellent text for professionals or post-graduates by J. Roberts (Melbourne VIC Australia)  5 Stars
August 18, 2009
Considered by some as a "virology bible", this text is an extremely well structured and informed piece of work. The current 5th edition is as up to date as a 2007 virology text can be, given the rapidly expanding nature of virus research. As mentioned previously the primary focus of this text is mammalian virology with a significant proportion devoted to human clinical virology.
This text is tailored more to the post-graduate student or virology professional and makes an excellent reference text with lengthy bibliographies for those who require starting points for further individual research. I would not recommend this text for undergraduates with no significant experience with virology as the content will perhaps overwhelm.
I highly recommend this text, even though it is expensive.

Fields Virology by R. Weir (Maryland) 5 Stars
June 05, 2006
The book pictured on this site is the Fourth Edition of Fields Virology. However, the "Book Description" in the "Editiorial Reviews" section on this site is for the Third Edition of Fields Virology. I hesitate to purchase the book because I am unsure which edition you will be shipping. Before I place my order, I want assurance that I will be receiving the Fourth Edition.

Best out there for MAMMALIAN virology by Pete Gramp (Schwenksville, PA USA) 5 Stars
January 26, 2005
My take on this two-volume set is that if you are going to put out as much money as this set costs, you should get a lot for it. This two- volume set is simply the best I have found for MAMMALIAN virology, with a close second being 'Fundamental Virology'. I stress the mammalian virology, as it omits a good bit (if not all) of the plant- associated virii. The basics of all virus structure are in there, regarding plant virii, but beyond that, there is information lacking. Despite this, when purchased as a graduate-level or upper-undergraduate level text or reference guide, there simply is no other text of this scale. There is a lot more text than graphics, but this does not (in my opinion) deter from the value of the text. If I could, I'd give a 4.5 star of 5, only for the lack of plant virii information and my personal desire for more graphics. i will say that the CD-Rom has more than enough graphics to make up for the book's seeming lack of graphics. As a 'financially- burdened' Pathology trainee and Virologist by employment, I will say that this is worth the price and effort to read. Note that it is written to the biologist who has some knowledge, albeit foundational knowledge, of biology.

A FINE VIROLOGY YARDSTICK by reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.)  4 Stars
February 19, 2003
There is hardly any significant fact about viruses that missed-out in this edition of "Fields Virology". Page after page, this sound all-inclusive reference doles out authoritative information on both viruses and viral syndromes. From taxonomy to etiology, metamorphosis to replication; the analyses of this text is grand. The same applies to its attached CD-ROM. Its practical outlook was intended to benefit both microbiologists and pathologists. Bernard Fields and his colleagues made their mark with this book. It is a great effort.However, most botanist may not be pleased to know that little attention was paid to plant viruses. Again, many potential buyers may be demoralized by the rather high price that this virology-set demands.
