The third edition of the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine, edited by Derek Doyle et al, is now available in a more affordable paperback edition. I reviewed the OTPM 3e when the hardback edition was released a year ago and described it as the gold standard reference for palliative medicine. Nothing has happened to change that opinion.

The paperback edition is considerably less expensive, which I hope will allow wider access to this invaluable resource for all who work in palliative care, worldwide. The comparative prices for the hardback and paperback editions are £150 and £59.95, SUS225.00 and $US115, and $AU485.00 and $AU180.00.
