Cambridge University Press has just sent me an email offering a 10% discount on selected titles to celebrate World Book Day. I click on the link and get a truly mouthwatering array of bargains. Core Topics in Airway Management heads the list, followed by Diagnostic Techniques in Hematological Malignancies; Morbid Obesity: Peri-Operative Management (down to £54.90!); Brain Repair After Stroke; Depression in Primary Care: Evidence and Practice... I trust that this list has not been targetted to my specific needs as a forty-something male, but I’m not taking any chances: the cake and champagne are going back in the cupboard.
