Customer Reviews

Has technology passed the yellow book?

There is nothing deficient about the quality of the latest edition of the Yellow Book. It is still the single best compendium of up to date health information for travelers. But most, if not all, of the information is available on the Internet, albeit from multiple sites. There is at least one pay site on the web that offers the same information and is updated more often. I still have the Yellow Book in my office, although I more often use the web sources. But I still like to browse the Yellow Book during some spare moments. Given the modest cost, the Yellow Book should still be in the library of physicians, nurses, and others who deal with international travellers.
