'This Handbook is an extremely useful resource for those needing reliable and valid measures that assess body image. The authors have ensured that all well-used body image scales, from a range of international authors, are included. All relevant aspects of each measure, including reliability, validity, and scale instructions and items, are covered within a well-structured format. The clear structure makes it easy to find the most important information about each measure. The extra index categorizes by body image keywords and is a big help to those wanting to choose an appropriate measure to assess a particular aspect of body image. I will be recommending this volume to all colleagues and students undertaking body image research. I commend the authors for producing this much-needed text.'
