Probably the best introductory text on physics of Radiation Therapy
This book from Medical Physics Publishing store does a very good job at introducing the reader to the major physics concepts of Radiation Oncology. Very logical presentation and easy to follow. More in-depth technical details can be looked up in other texts on the subject.

Damaged book
I received my book today and the cover is separated from the pages. I’m not sure how I’ll be able to use this book on a daily basis. Very disappointed.

Hardcover is falling off before I even started reading the book on day 1!
Hardcover is almost falling off. I just opened the Amazon box en the book hardcover is falling apart. This is just cheating.
