Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good if you like this style, but avoid the eBook
The Cummings text is less readable than the Bailey version. Cummings has more detail of the results of studies and Bailey has broader brush strokes. I think this comes down to preference.
I am very disappointed, however, in the poor functionality of the electronic version of the Cummings book. About half of the time that I log on, the eBook doesn't work. I have contacted customer service multiple times and each time they say they're working on it. Eventually I got fed up and asked ... Read More
Rating:  - Would not recommend
Although the back cover and the online advertising information claim that all chapters have fully explained answers, nearly 50% of questions have multiple-choice answers with no explanations. One chapter actually says "no answers provided". The questions and answers are poorly edited. There are some board-relevant questions in this book, but overall I would not recommend it.
Rating: - sometimes better, sometimes worse
I am one of the few people in my dept that buy each and every edition of this book, but it seems that I can't throw away the older ones, in may subjects it seems to be getting better, specially when you are talking about genes or dealing with cancer, but in other areas it is getting worse, like dealing with vocal fold paralysis or sleep apnoea.
Rating: - acceptable
I was disappoited on buying the CD-ROM version of this text. I found it incomplete (ie NO mention on Otoplasty despite being advertised by the authers as the MOST comprehensive text in this field !, and I found it innacurate with plenty of mistakes.
It is otherwise a versatile instrument for reference and revision
There is no access to the authors for feedback comments etc.
Rating:  - A good book for ENT man
I am an ENT man from Taiwan. This book is an important guide for the board examination. I like this book.
