Review of the hardback: From reviews of X-ray Binaries, edited by Walter H. G. Lewin, Jan van Paradijs and Edward P. J. van den Heuvel: '... packed with information, and so beautifully presented by CUP ... a must for your bookshelf and every astronomical library. I have already made this book required reading for my graduate students.' Phil Charles, The Observatory

Review of the hardback: '... a very good, detailed and comprehensive written review on X-ray binaries.' Reviews of Astronomical Tools

Review of the hardback: '... the topics are well chosen and fairly distinct, providing an extremely useful summary of current research ... If the space agencies are wondering why they shoud be planning now to replace XMM-Newton, Chandra, and RXTE, they should read this book. ... a good buy for libraries and essential background reading for students and their supervisors.' The Observatory
