We have ensured that the text is liberally illustrated with high quality reproductions and line drawings. We present to the reader a comprehensive, modern surgical textbook which, we hope, retains the feel of the original. It is always difficult to blend the old with the new but this we have attempted to do. We, the editors of this auspicious edition, therefore feel a particular responsibility following in the footsteps of the original authors and our colleague editors who continued this tradition over past editions. Most important was the frequent use of anecdote and aphorism to highlight points of clinical relevance, further enhanced by autobiographical notes beloved by all devotees of the book. Part of their magic formula was to combine clear and concise text with numerous clinical photographs collected from their own archives. Both set out to produce a high quality, comprehensive textbook to be enjoyed by both undergraduates and postgraduates. It has stood the test of time as evidenced by increasing sales, edition by edition, a tribute to the foresight of the original authors Hamilton Bailey and McNeill Love. This is the 25th and hence Silver Jubilee edition of this world famous textbook-Bailey & Love’s Short Practice of Surgery.
