". . .I cannot count the number of times I have used. . .Organic Photochemistry as a lead source to an area of photochemistry; I predict my group and I will use this new series as often."---Journal of the American Chemical Society (1998)". . .this book will be of interest not only to photochemists but to all those with an interest in organic chemistry and synthetic methods. "---Chemistry & Industry". . .a useful resource in any institutional library collection. . .I look forward to future volumes. "---Journal of the American Chemical Society
