What to consider before buying

When selecting a neonatal-perinatal book, consider your role and needs. Comprehensive references like Fanaroff and Martin's or Avery's are ideal for specialists seeking depth, while manuals like Cloherty's or Gomella's are better for daily clinical use. For perinatology focus, choose Creasy and Resnik's or Perinatal Medicine. Look for recent editions (within 5 years) for up-to-date guidelines. Price ranges vary widely; manual editions are more affordable. Check online reviews and sample chapters before purchase.
