The Harriet Lane Handbook, now in its fifth edition, continues to be a valuable vade macum for pediatric house officers and practitioners who are involved in day-to-day contact with patients. Packed in the book's 264 pages is a prodigious amount of practical information which will be a source of comfort for the physician who remembers to place this little handbook in his side pocket. Some might prefer that the publishers had issued this edition in loose-leaf format, but in its present binding loss of individual pages is no longer a potential danger.

Prospective readers of this book should be informed at the outset that it is not a textbook and it is not, by and large, about immunologic incompetence. Rather it is a compilation of presentations given at a conference in 1970 by established investigators, most of them pediatricians, on that aspect of immunology about which they were particularly knowledgeable. Moreover, the book's contents encompass much more than its title implies, in that many disease states not generally ascribed to incompetence are included, and fortunately for those who seek a genuine understanding of immunology and diseases involving immune mechanisms, there is as much discussion of the basic physiology of immunity as of illness.
