I am very happy with this book, although probably the only people who would want to read it are medical students or really autodidactic victims of Hodgkin's. It is very thorough, has good charts and illustrations, and is packed with statistical data. The book itself seems to be good quality; I expect it should hold up well. A family member was recently diagnosed and this book is giving me information and answers that I do not expect to get anywhere else. The discussion of long term life expectancy was very frank and complete. I would not recommend this book for the average lay person; it requires a pretty good foundation of medical knowledge. I did not pay full price, but bought from one of the third party sellers, although I see today more are available at even less. The amount of information contained here is certainly worth well over $200, so if you get it for the bargain prices, you are getting a very good deal.
