Lousy shipping details and customer service by M. Horn (NY area) 1 Stars
August 31, 2009
I never actually received my order and it had to be refunded. The vendor's shipping info didn't properly inform me that my shipment would change hands during shipment or that they would take a long time before responding to my complaint. The order was supposedly lost during shipping. I needed the order for a work project with a deadline. Instead the vendor (DirtCheapBooks4u.com) told me I must wait 21 days before assisting me. They also mentioned a problem with their new shipping labels. I waited 21 days to receive a refund but I really just wanted them to send me the order. I would have ordered a more expedient and expensive shipping option if all the info had been available (no phone number was given to seek assistance despite asking for one). In the end it would have been better if I never contacted this company with my order!

Must-have reference by M. McMann (Houston, TX USA) 5 Stars
November 11, 2008
Contraceptive Technology is a must-have reference for anyone interested in birth control. As a freelance medical writer/editor, I have used several revisions of this useful book over the years. I was very pleased when the long-awaited 19th revised edition was finally available. I had preordered the book directly from the publisher, who didn't follow through. Amazon, however, got me the book in record time.

Excellent by Juliette Grant-Blount (New York, NY USA) 5 Stars

A must have if you provide health care to women or have to answer questions about birth control.

Easy to Read Reference for Practitioners by Jamie J. Bourgeois (Boston, MA United States) 5 Stars
April 22, 2008
I find this text an excellent source of easy to read information. Every method of birth control/contraception is covered, including fertility based methods, surgical procedures, etc. There is also applicable information in regards to women's health issues and sexuality. Another reviewer stated that this book needs an update; I've heard that another edition is coming out soon and I would imagine that it would include new methods that have become available since the publication of this edition. I recommend this text to any women's health practitioner.

Fantastic! by C. Collins (Denver, CO.) 5 Stars
