From the reviews of the second edition:

"...This is an immensely useful book, and the source that I would turn to first when seeking virtually any information about solvent effects." - Organometallics

Introduction
Solute-Solvent Interactions
Classification of Solvents
Solvent Effects on the Position of Homogeneous Chemical Equilibria

Solvent Effects on Absorption Spectra of Organic Compounds
Empirical Parameters of Solvent Polarity
Appendix
References

"Anyone who needs to know anything about solvents and solvent effects in organic chemistry must read this book. (...) What I like about the book is the information on how change of solvent affects position of equilibria and rate of reaction for specific reactions or types of reactions. (...) In conclusion, there is no other book which covers the subject in so much depth and the volume should be an essential part of every organic chemist´s library."

"...this book is highly recommended to all chemists or biochemists involved in teaching or research."
J. Am. Chem. Soc.

"The book can be useful to specialists in the field of pure and applied chemistry and to students, both graduate and undergraduate, and to anyone studying solutions."
Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry

"I believe it is well worth the time of every organic chemist to read this book and learn how solvents influence the myriad phenomena of organic chemistry. It is also a superb reference book, one that you will use often, with the largest bibliography on solvents and solvent effects that I have ever seen... Every practicing organic chemist should either own a copy or have easy access to one."
Journal of Chemical Education

"...scholarly, comprehensive, and absolutely invaluable..."
J.Am.Chem.Soc.

"This excellent resource can be profitably consulted for useful reminders of relevant considerations of solvent in almost any aspect of organic reactions."
