Prof. A.A. Krivsky (Leningrad). Handbook of Female Diseases. With 679 part color drawings. Publisher "Practical Medicine". Leningrad, 1927

The purpose of this edition, as the editor writes in his preface, is to give to the Russian medical public a collective original manual on our specialty - gynecology. Our Russian literature on gynecology has always been notable for the scarcity of special manuals, but the need and necessity of publishing such a manual has become especially tangible at the present time, when, thanks to the tremendous success of the biological sciences, the literature of our specialty has grown quite considerably. Existing Russian manuals, of course, were not able to fully satisfy the demands of their readers, and therefore the idea of the editors of the "Handbook of Female Diseases" to fill this gap cannot but be recognized as quite timely and worthy of greeting.
