Well in my view all the essential ingredients for success are present, as follows: easy read; recognized authors; uniform approach; comprehensive range; global target audience... The Fast Facts series, of which these three books [Erectile Dysfunction, 4th edn; Prostate Cancer, 6th edn and Bladder Disorders] are reflective, has been successful because they cover every base and deserve to succeed.
