I skimmed a new PC book by Scardino (Uro Chief @ Memorial Sloan-Kettering)
today at the bookstore (B&N). Like most other PC books, it has enough unique
contributions that if I were still in a treatment decision phase OR hadn't
already studied the OTHER 7-8 good PC books, I'd buy it. Conversational,
easy to read, authoritative, interesting, informative, provides new insights
on the newest treatments such as IMRT and robotic RP . . .  many AHAH!s,
mhmmms, "Thought so!"s, "I wondered about that"s, "Hey, Hon, listen to
this"s, etc. I'd rate it at least an 8, and say it's as useful as any of the
books for a new club member's first read.

It's not as encumbered with "heavy math" as Strum, nor with "heavy medicine"
as Walsh, yet it covers things they don't, as any good book should if it
wants our attention.

I.P.
