'The book 'Surface Structure Determination by LEED and X-rays' is a comprehensive treatment of methods to determine the structure of surfaces. It serves as an excellent reference book and parts of it may be used as the primary text in a course at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate levels. The book assumes no prior knowledge of structural determination methods and the chapters are arranged in an easy-to follow manner. It is a must-have manuscript for researchers in condensed matter materials.' David Shuk Yin Tong, School of Science and Engineering, Chinese University of Hong Kong
