"I have always considered Dr Cotes' book the most authoritative book published on lung function. It is also the most comprehensive. "
Dr Robert Crapo, Pulmonary Division, LDS Hospital, Salt Lake City, USA





"I think I can fairly speak on behalf of staff in lung function departments the length and breadth of the country - that a sixth edition of Cotes would be gratefully received."
Dr Brendan Cooper, Clinical Respiratory Scientist, Nottingham City Hospital
