Writing in the journal Expert Review of Vaccines, David B. Weiner, Chair, Gene Therapy and Vaccine Program, CAMB University of Pennsylvania, and Abhishek Satishchandran review a book on Plasmids published by Caister Academic Press:

"Dr. George Lipps of the University of Bayreuth in Germany has assembled a clear and concise text which will be considered an important reference to plasmid researchers at the graduate level and beyond. The book has been fluently divided into 4 major topics of discussion, each further subdivided into increasing complex subcategories. The theme of cloning and expression vectors is maintained through the first three chapters. Appropriately, the basics plasmid biology are graciously provided in a series of lists and tables, easy enough for the most novice of graduate students ... This volume represents an important reference to bridge knowledge gaps and provide useful descriptions rooted in the fundamentals of plasmid biology. Dr. Lipps has done an excellent job in creating a useful, informative, and focused volume that should grace the shelf of many a molecular biologist well into the future."
