From the reviews: "The book under review is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive textbook to date on quantum information theory. ... This comprehensive and theorem-heavy approach makes the book a valuable reference for those working in the field of quantum information. ... This book could be used in a graduate course in quantum information theory ... . an extremely helpful work, and I am glad that it is available." (Todd A. Brun, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2007 b)
