This second expanded edition retains the same overall format of the original, 1990 edition, covering theory, practice and instrumentation in Part I (385 pp) and dealing with compound types on Part II. There are several changes in the new edition, including a number of new authors, and a new chapter on “Automation and Robotics in Planar Chromatography” has been added. All chapters have been updated, and 1990s references are not uncommon.
presented, with clear tables and figures, and includes numerous journal references. Readers familiar with previous editions of this book will be able to see revisions to all of the chapters, particularly with regard to recent instrumental developments (such as capillary electrophoresis, microcolumns in LC and hybrid techniques) and data processing. The experiments have been updated and expanded (34 experiments), and provide useful details for potential undergraduate practicals. There is also a glossary of chromatographic terms.

A. Braithwaite and F.J. Smith, Chromatogruphic Methods, 5th edn., Blackie, Glasgow, 1996 (ISBN O-7514-0158-7). xiv + 559 pp. This is the fifth edition of a text that was first published in 1963. It has ten self-contained chapters that take the reader through introductory and theoretical aspects of chromatography to planar and open column techniques and major chapters on gas chromatography and (high performance) liquid chromatography. The final chapters discuss the interfacing of chromatography with spectroscopic detectors, data processing, practical experiments and illustrative problems. In general the information is well

Wiley, Chichester, 1993, published as a paperback, April 1996 (ISBN O-471-96562-6). x + 304 pp. Price g29.95. This well-received text, previously available only in hardback, has been reissued, but not revised, in paperback form. The ground covered (chapters on explosive compounds and mixtures, chromatographic methods, mass spectrometric methods, analysis of explosive (sic) residues, environmental analysis of explosives, and detection of hidden explosives) is comprehensive and continues to be topical.
