From the start, the first edition of Principles of Neurology became my bible, which I and my co-trainees read from cover to cover. The field has changed immensely since that time, and widely distributed neurology textbooks are multiauthored by experts in the large number of neurology subspecialties that now dominate the field. This results in chapters providing considerable detail but often in a very patchy, inconsistent, and sometimes inaccurate fashion. The publication of the twelfth edition of Adams and Victor’s celebrated text reaffirms that there is still an important place on the shelves of neurology trainees and practitioners for a volume that originated from the two remarkable neurological authorities, Raymond Adams and Maurice Victor, and is now written by four experienced authors sharing their clinical experience with a uniform approach to the presentation of the field that is typically lost in the world of multiauthored texts.
