W.W. Norton & Company has sent us 13 books in urology, immunology, psychiatry, clinical psychology, and neuroscience since 1994, but only recently did we start receiving them on a regular basis. Since the beginning of 2020, we have received seven titles. The just published Doody’s Core Titles 2020 lists four W.W. Norton & Company titles, with two selected as Essential Purchase titles, including Janeway’s Immunobiology, 9th edition, Murphy and Weaver (W.W. Norton & Company, 2017).
